      <abstract>
        <p>Asthma, a chronic respiratory condition affecting both children and adults, remains a global health concern due to its high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life. The management of asthma has evolved significantly, with advancements in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Traditionally, asthma treatment focused on symptom relief using inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and bronchodilators. However, recent developments in biologic therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies targeting specific inflammatory pathways like immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin-5 (IL-5), have provided new options for patients with severe, treatment-resistant asthma. The pathophysiology of asthma involves a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors, with chronic airway inflammation playing a central role. Biomarkers such as fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophil counts are increasingly used to guide treatment decisions, offering more targeted approaches for individual patients. In addition to pharmacological advancements, lifestyle modifications, including diet, physical activity and environmental control, play a crucial role in asthma prevention. A Mediterranean-style diet, rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, along with regular exercise and reduction of allergen exposure, has been shown to reduce asthma exacerbations. Personalized asthma care is emerging as a critical trend, incorporating genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors to optimize treatment. Pharmacogenomics helps to identify patients who may respond better to specific therapies based on genetic markers. The use of digital health technologies and real-time monitoring is also contributing to more effective management by enabling timely interventions and improving patient adherence. The integration of these advancements offers a more holistic approach to asthma management, aiming to improve long-term outcomes, reduce exacerbations and enhance the quality of life for patients with this chronic condition. Future research and continued innovation will likely further refine these personalized strategies, making asthma care even more precise and effective.&#13;
