To determine the prevalence of cotton dust-related allergic asthma and associated factors among textile workers in Nam Dinh province, Vietnam.
A cross-sectional study was performed with 1082 workers in two textile garment companies using the asthma diagnostic criteria of the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) 2016 guidelines.
Among study participants, 11.9% had suspected asthma symptoms, 7.4% were diagnosed with asthma, and 4.3% (3.6% in men and 4.5% in women) were diagnosed with cotton dust-related allergic asthma. Overweight, seniority more than 10 years, history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, family history of allergy, and exposure to cotton dust from more than one hour per day in the working environment were found to be important predictors of cotton dust-related allergic asthma among textile workers.
Textile workers in two companies in Nam Dinh, Vietnam had a high prevalence of dust-related allergic asthma compared to estimates from the general population. There is a need to design appropriate measures of prevention, screening, and care for dust-related asthma in the textile industry. Further evaluation with better exposure assessment is necessary.
在越南南定省，确定纺织工人中与棉花尘相关的变应性哮喘的流行情况及相关因素。
采用全球哮喘倡议（GINA）2016 指南的哮喘诊断标准，对两家纺织制衣公司的 1082 名工人进行了横断面研究。
在所研究的参与者中，11.9%有疑似哮喘症状，7.4%被诊断为哮喘，4.3%（男性 3.6%，女性 4.5%）被诊断为与棉花尘相关的变应性哮喘。超重、工龄超过 10 年、哮喘病史、过敏性鼻炎、过敏家族史以及每天在工作环境中接触棉花尘超过 1 小时，这些都是纺织工人发生与棉花尘相关的变应性哮喘的重要预测因素。
与一般人群的估计相比，越南南定省两家公司的纺织工人中，与尘有关的变应性哮喘的患病率较高。需要为纺织行业设计针对尘相关哮喘的适当预防、筛查和护理措施。有必要进行进一步的评估，包括更好的暴露评估。
