Is it possible to suddenly develop asthma after turning 60?

One can develop asthma at any age, even if they did not have asthma as a child. Asthma associated with allergy usually starts in children. But some people develop asthma as adults and this is often not associated with allergic triggers. Some people can develop asthma because of continued exposure to certain substances, especially at work ( e.g. paint, spray, fumes etc)
