Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the frequency and causes of asthma exacerbations in adults aged 45 and older, using data from the Rotterdam Study spanning almost 27 years.
- In total, 763 participants were assessed, with 56% experiencing at least one asthma exacerbation, particularly during winter; notable risk factors included previous exacerbations, respiratory issues, obesity, and depressive symptoms.
- The findings revealed that using only short-acting rescue medication significantly increased the risk of exacerbations compared to those on controller medication, highlighting the importance of proper asthma management in older adults.
