Abstract
Elderly patients with asthma are a specific group with particular needs. These must be addressed in order to provide appropriate asthma care. Asthma causes higher morbidity and mortality rates among the elderly patients. Older patients often fail or have problems with compliance and self-management due to age-specific factors. Older patients with asthma are often misdiagnosed, due to an impaired patient perception of symptom severity, different opinions of what kind of asthma-control is possible, or not sufficient communication skills. Often the quality of life is impaired by asthma. Improvement in self management skills in a special way may enhance the health status of elderly patients with asthma.
