Brief Summary:
We want to examine the effect of multidisciplinary interventions in asthma patients who had experienced acute exacerbation of asthma.
In our previous observational studies, elderly asthma patients had a some distinct features such as impairment of cognitive function, deficiency of micronutrient and absence of caregiver compared with young adult asthmatics.
We wanted to evaluate whether the long-term course of asthma could be modified by intervening deficienies which were found in elderly patiensts.
So, we designed a interventional study to correct above risk factors in elderly asthma patients, which could be aggravating their asthma. Followings are our specific multidiciplinary items that we want to correct.
After 1 years, we will measure the numbers of acute exacerbations, lung function including FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, health-related quality of life and level of serum magnesium in study patients.
