| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS UY6vvR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors assessed the relations between occupation and risk of developing asthma in adulthood in a 1997-2000 population-based incident case-control study of 521 cases and 932 controls in south Finland. The occupations were classified according to potential exposure to asthma-causing inhalants. Asthma risk was increased consistently for both men and women in the chemical (adjusted odds ratio (OR)=5.69,95% confidence interval (CI) : 1.08,29.8), rubber and plastic (OR=2.61,95% CI : 0.92,7.42), and wood and paper (OR=1.72,95% CI : 0.71,4.17) industries. Risk in relation to occupation was increased only for men-for bakers and food processors (OR=8.62,95% CI : 0.86,86.5), textile workers (OR=4.70,95% Cl : 0.29,77.1), electrical and electronic production workers (OR=2.83,95% Cl : 0.82,6.93), laboratory technicians (OR=1.66,95% Cl : 0.17,16.6), and storage workers (OR=1.57,95% CI : 0.40,6.19). Of the predominantly men's occupations, metal (OR=4.52,95% CI : 2.35,8.70) and forestry (OR=6.00,95% CI : 0.96,37.5) work were the strongest determinants of asthma. For women, asthma risk increased for waiters (OR=3.03,95% CI : 1.10,8.31), cleaners (OR=1.42,95% CI : 0.81,2.48), and dental workers (OR=4.74,95% Cl : 0.48,46.5). Results suggest an increased asthma risk both in traditional industries and forestry and in several nonindustrial occupations. |
