| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS wRR0xmUW. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective : To evaluate the odds of being exposed to pesticides in asthmatic adults. Design : A case-control study was performed in Lebanon. Setting : People were approached when consulting physicians as outpatients. Patients : Asthmatic patients and non-asthmatic controls in several Lebanese hospitals were interviewed. Main results : The study included 407 subjects from 10 medical centres. Any exposure to pesticides was associated to asthma (OR=2.11 (1.47 to 3.02) ; p<10-4). Occupational use presented the highest association (OR=4.98 (1.07 to 23.28) ; p=0.02), followed by regional exposure (OR 3.51 (2.11 to 5.85) ; p<10-4). Results were confirmed by multivariate analysis, particularly for regional exposure (ORa=2.78 ; p=0.02) and house exposure (ORa=2.17 ; p=0.001). Conclusions : Results are comparable to those found in other studies ; especially for occupational exposure. Pesticides toxicological effects may explain chronic respiratory symptoms and asthma associations found with all exposure types. Pesticide exposure was associated with asthma in Lebanese adults. |
