A possible association between cooking fumes and respiratory diseases other than cancer has not been studied earlier.
All employees at 67 selected kitchens were asked to answer a personal questionnaire regarding the presence of dyspnea, serious dyspnea, cough, and respiratory symptoms in connection with work. The study group consisted of 139 women and 100 men.
The prevalence of dyspnea (RR = 4.1 (2.7-6.3)), serious dyspnea (RR = 2.9 (1.5-5.7)), and symptoms in connection with work (RR = 4.3 (2.7-6.7)) were statistically significantly higher for the female kitchen workers compared to the controls. For the men only dyspnea (RR = 1.8 (1.4-2.3)) and symptoms in connection with work (RR = 2.1 (1.6-2.7)) showed an increased prevalence. An analysis of possible predictors for respiratory symptoms in connection with work gave an odds ratio of 3.2 (P = 0.000) for "working in a restaurant kitchen."
The results of the study indicate a relationship between working in kitchens and respiratory symptoms.
烹饪油烟与癌症以外的呼吸系统疾病之间可能存在的关联此前尚未得到研究。
对67家选定厨房的所有员工进行问卷调查,询问他们在工作中是否存在呼吸困难、严重呼吸困难、咳嗽及其他呼吸道症状。研究组包括139名女性和100名男性。
与对照组相比,女性厨房工作人员出现呼吸困难(相对危险度RR = 4.1(2.7 - 6.3))、严重呼吸困难(RR = 2.9(1.5 - 5.7))以及与工作相关症状(RR = 4.3(2.7 - 6.7))的患病率在统计学上显著更高。对于男性,只有呼吸困难(RR = 1.8(1.4 - 2.3))和与工作相关症状(RR = 2.1(1.6 - 2.7))的患病率有所增加。对与工作相关的呼吸道症状的可能预测因素进行分析,结果显示“在餐厅厨房工作”的优势比为3.2(P = 0.000)。
该研究结果表明在厨房工作与呼吸道症状之间存在关联。
