【 摘 要 】

Clinical and epidemiological behaviour of bronchial asthma in elderlies is almost an unknown topic in the investigations carried out in the field, because studies conducted in adult population approach a single age group from 15 years old on. Bronchial asthma is considered a health problem given its high prevalence: about 10% of the Cuban population suffers from it. In elderlies it is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease often confused with chronic lung disease, so it is very important to able to evaluate the specific characteristics it presents in elderlies in order to attack the disease effectively, and promote the life quality of asthmatic elderlies.
