The incidence of respiratory and cutaneous allergic disorders may be variable if we consider work activity. These disorders are reported in the current literature to have a relevant psychosomatic involvement. The aim of the study was to submit a survey on the self-reported occurrence of allergic respiratory and cutaneous diseases in outdoor and indoor workers to verify the onset or exacerbations of such pathologies, encourage surveillance, and suggest the need for further studies. Two groups of workers were compared when exposed and not exposed to air pollutants. An outdoor population of motorway toll collectors (153 workers; M: 58.03 years old, SD: 6.1; and female prevalence of 66.01%) and an indoor group of office employees (59 workers; mean age 54.44 years, SD: 8.50; and male prevalence of 61.02%) entered the study. The results of three multivariate analyses of the obtained data, investigating contributions of external factors, including age, sex, smoking habits, working type, and seniority, on allergic conditions were significant in both workers' groups. The findings highlighted that age and smoking habits were significant contributors to allergic conditions, both independently and in combination with other factors, such as sex and working type. The data suggest the presence of phenomena related to different etiological domains, as already reported in the literature. Through the collection of these data, it was possible to highlight the need to analyze clinical signs from different perspectives.
如果考虑工作活动，呼吸道和皮肤过敏症的发病率可能会有所不同。当前文献报道这些疾病存在相关的心身因素。本研究的目的是对户外和室内工作者自我报告的过敏性呼吸道和皮肤疾病的发生情况进行调查，以核实这些病症的发作或加重情况，鼓励监测，并表明进一步研究的必要性。比较了两组工作者在接触和不接触空气污染物时的情况。一组是户外的高速公路收费员（153名工作者；平均年龄58.03岁，标准差6.1；女性患病率66.01%），另一组是室内的办公室职员（59名工作者；平均年龄54.44岁，标准差8.50；男性患病率61.02%）参与了研究。对所得数据进行的三项多变量分析结果显示，在两组工作者中，调查包括年龄、性别、吸烟习惯、工作类型和工龄等外部因素对过敏状况的影响均具有显著性。研究结果突出表明，年龄和吸烟习惯是过敏状况的重要影响因素，无论是单独还是与其他因素（如性别和工作类型）共同作用。数据表明存在与不同病因领域相关的现象，正如文献中已报道的那样。通过收集这些数据，有可能突出从不同角度分析临床症状的必要性。
