Methods: 81 elderly patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were screened. Patients with asthma alone were divided into group A (21 cases), patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease alone were divided into group B (21 cases), and patients with asthma combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were divided into group C (21 cases). All patients in the 3 groups were examined for pulmonary function. Results: the respiratory indexes of group B and group C were significantly lower than that of group A, and lung function indexes among three groups were compared (P < 0.05). Conclusion: pulmonary function examination can accurately diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, so as to realize early detection and early treatment of disease, and help patients to improve the treatment effect. The diagnostic method of this kind of disease has high application value in clinic.展开更多
