title: [Features of using glucocorticosteroids in treating bronchial asthma in older and elderly patients with erosive-ulcer lesions of the gastroduodenal zone].
abstract: The bronchial asthma treatment in elderly and old people is one of the pressing problems of therapy at present. The bronchial asthma incidence rate tendency has become evident in many countries of the world. If bronchial asthma is recorded in 6-7% of the adult population, it occurs much more often in people of the age of over 70 years [23]. According to certain assessments, the portion of gerontological patients makes up approximately 40% in the structure of common bronchial asthma incidence [3]. Ten percent of new bronchial asthma cases are recorded in people of over 65 years annually, and its prevalence in elderly people has approached the level of ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension in the past years.
