Office Work Exposures and Adult-Onset Asthma
BACKGROUND Office exposures have been linked to symptoms of sick building syndrome, but their relation to the development of asthma has not been studied previously. These exposures have increasing importance because an increasing proportion of the workforce is working in office environments. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the relations of exposure to carbonless copy paper (CCP...
متن کاملOccupational exposures and uncontrolled adult-onset asthma in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey II.
Occupational exposure is a well-recognised modifiable risk factor for asthma, but the relationship between occupational exposure and asthma control has not been studied. We aimed to study this association among working-age adults from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS). Data were available for 7077 participants (mean age 43 years, 45% never-smokers, 5867 without asthma and...
متن کاملAdult-onset asthma in west Sweden--incidence, sex differences and impact of occupational exposures.
The aim was to estimate the incidence rate of adult-onset asthma in relation to age, sex, smoking and occupational exposures. A random sample of 18,087 subjects aged 16-75 years was investigated using a respiratory questionnaire. Adult-onset asthma was defined as "physician-diagnosed" asthma with onset at or after 16 years of age. The subjects were asked about year of asthma diagnosis and year ...
متن کاملGenes Interacting with Occupational Exposures to Low Molecular Weight Agents and Irritants on Adult-Onset Asthma in Three European Studies
BACKGROUND The biological mechanisms by which cleaning products and disinfectants-an emerging risk factor-affect respiratory health remain incompletely evaluated. Studying genes by environment interactions (G × E) may help identify new genes related to adult-onset asthma. OBJECTIVES We identified interactions between genetic polymorphisms of a large set of genes involved in the response to ox...
متن کاملOccupational exposures, smoking and airway inflammation in refractory asthma
BACKGROUND The influence of occupation and ex/passive smoking on inflammatory phenotype is not well understood. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between occupation, past smoking and current passive smoking and airway inflammation in a population of adults with refractory asthma. METHODS Sixty-six participants with refractory asthma were characterised. Occupational exposur...
