Senile bronchial asthma

Senile bronchial asthma (abbreviated as asthma) is a chronic airway inflammation predominantly involving eosinophil and mast cell responses. In susceptible individuals, this inflammation can cause varying degrees of widespread reversible airway obstruction symptoms. Clinical manifestations include recurrent episodes of wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, or cough. It can recover with treatment or spontaneously, and the airway has hyperresponsiveness to stimuli. The above definition of asthma is based on conclusions from recent studies on the pathophysiology of asthma in young people. As for the mechanism of senile asthma, especially whether airway inflammation is the same as in young people with asthma, there is still a lack of data to prove it.
