A study of occupational respiratory symptoms in hairdressers was carried out in 26 salons in New Zealand.
A questionnaire was administered to 100 hairdressers and 106 office and shop workers, recording respiratory symptoms, demographic data, and smoking habits. Pulmonary function was measured before each shift.
Hairdressers had a higher prevalence of asthma symptoms, diagnosed asthma, and asthma attacks in the previous 12 months, but these differences reduced markedly when adjusted for age, gender and smoking. Hairdressers had a significantly lower pulmonary function, even after adjustment for smoking, but this difference was entirely due to differences between hairdressers and office workers and there were no such differences between hairdressers and shop workers.
The excess symptom prevalence in hairdressers was largely due to the high smoking rates. Mean pulmonary function was lower in hairdressers but this finding requires further study.
在新西兰的26家美发沙龙对美发师的职业性呼吸道症状进行了一项研究。
对100名美发师以及106名办公室职员和店员进行问卷调查，记录呼吸道症状、人口统计学数据和吸烟习惯。在每次轮班前测量肺功能。
美发师在过去12个月中哮喘症状、确诊哮喘和哮喘发作的患病率较高，但在对年龄、性别和吸烟情况进行调整后，这些差异显著减小。即使在对吸烟情况进行调整后，美发师的肺功能仍显著较低，但这种差异完全是由于美发师与办公室职员之间的差异所致，而美发师与店员之间不存在此类差异。
美发师中症状患病率过高很大程度上是由于吸烟率高。美发师的平均肺功能较低，但这一发现需要进一步研究。
