    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the need to consider age-related factors in the diagnosis and management of asthma as etiology, presentation, and progression of the disease may vary across age groups. It notes a presumptive diagnosis of asthma that can be made based on patient history, risk factors, and clinical examination. The development of nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatments as the cornerstones of long-term treatment that should be a part of each patient's action plan is tackled.
