    Citation Excerpt :

    It is also noteworthy that the highest expenditures were on prevention of asthma triggers at home, which includes reforms, acquisition of air humidifiers, air cleaners, and others, which is understandable as these items are not provided by the government. There are studies demonstrating that elderly asthma is more severe than adult asthma,15 but proper maintenance therapy prevents asthma exacerbations,16 minimizes loss of lung function and airway remodeling17 in both age ranges. In the current study, the authors provide evidence that childhood and adolescence asthma is associated with lower symptoms scores and better spirometry test values than adult asthma, thus showing that asthma severity is likely to get worse since the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
