[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS U2zR0xqF. Diffusion soumise ... autorisation]. Objectives. This study examined the impact of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on health status and work disability. Methods. We used data from a population-based sample of 3805 California adults. Results. Compared with adults with no chronic health conditions, adults with COPD or asthma had a greater risk of self-reported diminished general health (odds ratio [OR]=10.95 ; 95% confidence interval [Cl]=6.31,19.0 and OR=3.92 ; 95% Cl=2.31,6.65, respectively). Respondents with COPD or asthma also had worse mental health status, as indicated by a greater risk of depressive symptoms (OR=10.05 ; 95% Cl=5.29,19.08 and OR=2.59 ; 95% Cl=1.33,5.04). COPD was associated with reduced current employment (OR=0.41 ; 95% Cl=0.24,0.71). Conclusions. Asthma and COPD are associated with poor health status and greater work disability.
