Abstract
- As the aging population grows in the recent years, it will be increasingly important for physicans to effectively diagnose and manage rhinitis in the elderly. Several changes in nasal anatomy and function (such as decreased mucociliary clearance, decrease in immune function, and structural changes) may contribute to the pathogenesis of rhinitis in older adults. The geriatric population suffers from both allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, and both require specific pharmacotherapy in the setting of comorbidities and polypharmacy.
