OBJECTIVES
To assess the proportion of adult asthma at the state level that may be related to work.
DESIGN
Work-related asthma questions were added to the 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) questionnaire in California, Massachusetts, and Michigan.
RESULTS
Findings indicate 7.4-9.7% of those with current asthma reported that their asthma may be work related. These results estimate that approximately 137,000 adults in California, 39,000 in Massachusetts, and 63,000 in Michigan have asthma that may be work related.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings are unique in providing population-based estimates at the state level that illustrate that a substantial portion of adult asthma morbidity is due to exposures in the work environment.
目的
评估州级层面可能与工作相关的成人哮喘比例。
设计
在加利福尼亚州、马萨诸塞州和密歇根州，与工作相关的哮喘问题被添加到2001年行为危险因素监测系统（BRFSS）问卷中。
结果
研究结果表明，当前患有哮喘的人群中，有7.4% - 9.7%报告其哮喘可能与工作有关。这些结果估计，加利福尼亚州约有13.7万成年人、马萨诸塞州约有3.9万成年人以及密歇根州约有6.3万成年人患有可能与工作相关的哮喘。
结论
这些研究结果在提供州级层面基于人群的估计方面具有独特性，表明相当一部分成人哮喘发病率是由工作环境中的暴露因素所致。
