OBJECTIVE: To investigate the usefulness of a self-reported respiratory health transition question over 10 years through reliability, ability to capture long-term asthma trajectory and predictive ability. SETTINGS: In two 20-year cohorts (Asthma-E3N, n = 16,371, 61-88 years; EGEA, n = 1254, 27-82 years), perceived 10-year change in respiratory health ("Overall, in the last 10 years, do you think that your bronchial or respiratory health has changed?" if yes: "Has it improved/deteriorated?") was studied in relation with change in respiratory medication dispensation and lung function, with change in asthma status measured over the same period of time, and with subsequent asthma-related outcomes.
