OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate the linkage between asthma and chemical hypersensitivity.
METHODS
The authors conducted a population study with a random sample of 1057 geographically weighted cases to determine the prevalence of both asthma and chemical hypersensitivity in the American population and to explore their co-occurrence.
RESULTS
A total of 14.1% of the respondents reported being diagnosed with asthma and 11.2% reported a hypersensitivity to chemicals. Of those with asthma, 27.2% also reported being hypersensitive to chemicals and 7.4% reported also being diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). Of those diagnosed with MCS, 42% reported also being diagnosed with asthma. Additionally, 29.7% of those with asthma said air fresheners caused breathing difficulties, and 37.2% found scented products irritating.
CONCLUSIONS
The results indicate that there is significant overlap between some forms of asthma and chemical hypersensitivity.
目的
本研究的目的是调查哮喘与化学物质超敏反应之间的联系。
方法
作者进行了一项人群研究，随机抽取了1057例按地理加权的病例，以确定美国人群中哮喘和化学物质超敏反应的患病率，并探讨它们的共现情况。
结果
共有14.1%的受访者报告被诊断患有哮喘，11.2%的受访者报告对化学物质过敏。在患有哮喘的人群中，27.2%的人还报告对化学物质过敏，7.4%的人报告还被诊断患有多重化学物质敏感症（MCS）。在被诊断患有MCS的人群中，42%的人报告也被诊断患有哮喘。此外，29.7%的哮喘患者表示空气清新剂会导致呼吸困难，37.2%的人发现有香味的产品会引起不适。
结论
结果表明，某些形式的哮喘与化学物质超敏反应之间存在显著重叠。
