Abstract
WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW: What is the prevalence of impaired lung function among older people in Australia? How can we differentiate between asthma and other causes of breathlessness in population-based health surveys of older people? What are the effects of ageing on people with asthma? WHAT WE NEED TO DO: Improve existing survey measures and accuracy of diagnosis. Incorporate measures of spirometric function into health surveys of representative samples of the general population. Use spirometry in the diagnostic work-up of older patients with dyspnoea.
