    Background:

    • Chronic airway diseases, particularly COPD, present a growing challenge with increasing morbidity and mortality.
    • The elderly population is disproportionately affected, necessitating specialized diagnostic and treatment approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline current strategies for the diagnosis and management of COPD in elderly patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including medical therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical guidelines for COPD management in older adults.
    • Discussion of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
    • Emphasis on early recognition and treatment of complications.

    Main Results:

    • Smoking cessation is crucial for all patients, irrespective of age.
    • Bronchodilator therapy aims to alleviate symptoms and enhance functional capacity.
    • Supplemental oxygen, phlebotomy, and exercise training can improve exercise tolerance.

    Conclusions:

    • COPD management in the elderly requires a comprehensive strategy.
    • Pulmonary rehabilitation is a vital component complementing medical therapy.
    • Early intervention for complications like infections and heart failure is essential.
