Asma en adultos mayores

Abstract

El asma se ha considerado a menudo como una enfermedad cuyo inicio seproduce en la infancia. Sin embargo, recientes estudios poblacionales han informado que el inicio del asma es común en las personas mayores.La carga sanitaria, personal y económica del asma puede ser más significativaen los ancianos que en sus homólogos más jóvenes, particularmente en lo quese refiere a la mortalidad, la hospitalización, los costos médicos o la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud.El asma en el Adulto Mayor (AAM) sigue siendo subdiagnosticada y subtratada.El objetivo principal de esta Revisión es identificar las necesidades no satisfechas en los campos de investigación y práctica para AAM, así como encontrar nuevas direcciones de investigación, proponer nuevas estrategias terapéuticas y mejorar los resultados para el creciente número de personas mayores con asma.El desafío de hoy es fomentar la investigación en AAM, utilizando el conocimiento existente para mejorar el diagnóstico, y los diagnósticos deferenciales, así como educar al paciente, desarrollar un enfoque terapéutico seguro y eficaz, controlar la enfermedad y, finalmente, proporcionar una mejor calidad de vida.

Asthma has often been considered as a childhood disease. However, recent population studies reported that asthma is common in the elderly The burden of asthma may be more significant in the elderly than in their younger counterparts, particularly with regard to mortality, hospitalization, medical costs or health-related quality of life.Asthma in the Elderly (AIE) is still under-diagnosed and under-treated. The primary aim of this review is to identify unmet needs in the fields of research and practice for AIE. This will enable us to find new research directions, propose new therapeutic strategies, and ultimately improve outcomes for elderly people with asthma. The challenge today is to encourage new research in AIE, but to already use existing knowledge we have to make the diagnosis of AIE, educate the patient, develop a therapeutic approach to control the disease, and ultimately provide a better quality of life to our elderly patients
