Occupational 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 کاملSensitization to individual allergens and bronchial responsiveness in the ECRHS. European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
Little is known about the relation of bronchial responsiveness (BHR) to sensitization to individual allergens, or its variation between countries. Data were obtained for BHR, specific immunoglobulin E and confounding variables from 11,215 subjects, aged 20-44 yrs at the start of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, in 34 centres in 15 countries. The relation of BHR to sensitization...

متن کاملComparison of asthma prevalence in the ISAAC and the ECRHS. ISAAC Steering Committee and the European Community Respiratory Health Survey. International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood.
International and regional prevalence comparisons are required to test and generate hypotheses regarding the causes of increasing asthma prevalence in various age groups worldwide. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) is the first such study in children and the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) is the first such study in adults. Therefore, a co...
متن کاملVariation in bronchial responsiveness in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS).
Attempts to compare bronchial responsiveness between populations have been hampered by between-study differences in the pharmacological agent of provocation, the method of administration and the summary statistic employed. The European Community Respiratory Health Survey used methacholine challenge delivered by Mefar dosimeter according to a standardized protocol used in 35 centres in 16 countr...
