Unfortunately, both situations are true. Asthma is a disease that can affect anyone from young children to adults in their 60’s. It’s been reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging that more than 2 million Americans over 65 have asthma. When someone develops asthma at an older age, the symptoms are much like those found in younger people. If you suspect you or a loved one might be developing asthma, be sure to consult your healthcare provider soon.
