Asthma after 40
For some people over 40, asthma has been part of life since childhood; for others, it is a more recent experience. That history can shape how much attention it receives and how comfortable someone feels discussing it.
Working life, relationships, travel and leisure provide different settings for those experiences. This topic explores asthma as part of adult life, recognising both the familiarity of a longstanding condition and the adjustments in outlook that can come with something new.
