    adjusted mortality from asthma in Italy increased by over fivefold (figure), and the rises were larger in middle and older age than in children and young adults.3 This discrepancy therefore indicates that the rises in asthma mortality cannot simply be related to increased incidence or prevalence of severe asthma requiring hospital admission.
