Age-of-asthma onset is often used to distinguish different adult asthma phenotypes; however, similarities and differences between early- and late-onset adult asthma have not been summarized to date. Of the 2921 records found, we identified 12 studies comparing early- and late-onset current asthma in adults. Age 12 was most commonly used to delineate the two age-of-onset phenotypes. Adults with early-onset current asthma were more likely to be atopic and had a higher frequency of asthma attacks…

Both similarities and differences exist between elderly subjects with EOA and those with LOA in China and further work is required to determine the pathophysiological, clinical, and therapeutic implications for different asthma phenotypes in elderly subjects.

Major phenotypic differences occur with asthma age-of-onset; while both share similar clinical manifestations, the impact on adult lung function of early-ONSet asthma is greater than for late-onsET asthma.

It is critically suggested that in spite of the identification of clinical and functional differences characterizing these two phenotypes, a more detailed approach is needed to clarify the potential clinical implications of this investigation and a useful notion could be gained by considering occupational asthma.

Future research will focus on classifying phenotypes into groups based on pathophysiologic mechanisms (endotypes) and the biomarkers attached to these endotypes, which could predict prognosis and lead to targeted therapy.

There is an urgent need to further investigate the interrelationship between environmental and genetic determinants to identify high risk groups and key modifiable exposures and to define the role of environmental exposures in the development of asthma in both children and adults.

The results confirm earlier data that parental history of asthma and allergy is most strongly associated with early-onset persistent asthma and suggest that among genetically predisposed children, an early-life environmental exposure, maternal smoking during pregnancy, favors the development of early-ONSet asthma that persists into later early childhood.

The current management of chronic asthma in adults is based on achieving and maintaining control through step-up and step-down approaches, but further trials of back-titration in COPD are required before a similar approach can be endorsed.
