Abstract
The treatment of asthma in the elderly is similar in many ways to that in younger patients, but it also differs in many respects. The elderly patient is more likely to have associated diseases that also require treatment. He is less adaptive to modifications in his program of living. Thus the regular therapeutic management of asthma must be modified to take into account the patient's advanced age and his special needs. The purpose of this paper is to present such a therapeutic program.
