Little is known about the relation between regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the risk of asthma at the population level. The aim of this study was to examine a possible association between intake of NSAIDs and risk of adult-onset asthma.
Using data from two multidisciplinary postal questionnaire surveys concerning health and lifestyle, we prospectively studied 19 349 adult twins enrolled in the nationwide Danish Twin Registry.
We found a higher prevalence of new-onset asthma in subjects who used NSAIDs (other than aspirin) regularly compared with non-users (7.7% vs 4.3%), OR = 1.87 (1.25-2.81), P = 0.002. The result remained significant after adjusting for sex, age, smoking, BMI, hay fever, eczema and intake of medications other than NSAIDs, OR = 1.90 (1.26-2.85), P = 0.002.
Regular use of NSAIDs other than aspirin may be a risk factor for adult-onset asthma. This observation must be accommodated in explanations of the relationship between use of analgesics and risk of asthma.
在人群层面,关于非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的常规使用与哮喘风险之间的关系,人们了解甚少。本研究的目的是探讨NSAIDs的摄入与成人期哮喘风险之间可能存在的关联。
利用两项关于健康和生活方式的多学科邮政问卷调查数据,我们对丹麦全国双胞胎登记处登记的19349对成年双胞胎进行了前瞻性研究。
我们发现,与未使用者相比,经常使用NSAIDs(不包括阿司匹林)的受试者中,新发哮喘的患病率更高(7.7%对4.3%),比值比(OR)=1.87(1.25 - 2.81),P = 0.002。在对性别、年龄、吸烟、体重指数(BMI)、花粉症、湿疹以及NSAIDs以外的药物摄入进行调整后,结果仍然显著,OR = 1.90(1.26 - 2.85),P = 0.002。
经常使用除阿司匹林以外的NSAIDs可能是成人期哮喘的一个风险因素。在解释镇痛药使用与哮喘风险之间的关系时,必须考虑到这一观察结果。
