| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 893R0xVc. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : Pesticides are widely used toxics. The objective of the study is to evaluate the odds of exposure to pesticides in chronic bronchitis patients. Methods : Using the American Thoracic Society standardized questionnaire confirmed by medical diagnosis of chronic bronchitis, a case-control study was performed in Lebanon. Pesticide exposure was estimated and between groups comparison was made. Results : The study involved 262 controls and 110 chronic bronchitis outpatient subjects from 10 medical centers. Any exposure to pesticides was associated to chronic bronchitis (OR=2.46 [1.53-3.94] ; p<10-4). Occupational use presented the highest association (15.92 [3.50-72.41] ; p<10-4), followed by regional exposure (3.70 [2.05-6.70] ; p<10-4). Results were confirmed by multivariate and subgroup analysis. Conclusion : Pesticide exposure was associated with chronic bronchitis in Lebanese adults. Pesticides toxicological effects may explain chronic respiratory effects associations found with all exposure types. |
