New research published in Respirology<\/em> suggests that some respiratory symptoms may predict an earlier death in older adults. Also, such predictions differ by smoking status.<\/p>\n In the study of 2087 older Australians with 22 years of follow-up, shortness of breath predicted a shorter life expectancy irrespective of smoking status. Cough in former smokers and wheeze in current smokers predicted shorter life expectancy.<\/p>\n The estimated remaining life expectancy of a 70-year-old male never smoker with no symptoms was 16.6 years. The years of life lost for a 70-year-old male current smoker with cough, shortness of breath, and wheeze compared with a never smoker with no symptoms was 4.93 years with 2.99 years being attributed to their current smoking and the remainder to their respiratory symptoms. <\/p>\n “If older people are experiencing even mild respiratory symptoms, they may benefit from visiting their general practitioner for further investigations,” said lead author Kate Petrie, of Monash University, in Australia.\n<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Media Contact<\/strong> New research published in Respirology suggests that some respiratory symptoms may predict an earlier death in older adults.
