To examine the relation between adverse pregnancy outcomes and work in cosmetology during pregnancy, we conducted a mail survey in North Carolina among 8,356 licensed female cosmetologists 22-36 years of age. We identified pregnancies between 1983 and 1988 by a brief screening questionnaire, followed by a more detailed mail questionnaire. Seventy-four per cent of eligible cosmetologists responded to each inquiry. We restricted the main analysis to 96 cosmetologists with a spontaneous abortion and 547 cosmetologists with a single livebirth who worked full-time in cosmetology or in other jobs during the first trimester of pregnancy. With adjusted odds ratios ranging from 1.4 to 2.0, we found associations between spontaneous abortion and the number of hours worked per day in cosmetology, the number of chemical services performed per week, the use of formaldehyde-based disinfectants, and work in salons where nail sculpturing was performed by other employees. We found no important associations among full-time cosmetologists who performed few chemical services and among cosmetologists who worked less than 35 hours per week.
为研究不良妊娠结局与孕期从事美容工作之间的关系，我们在北卡罗来纳州对8356名年龄在22至36岁之间的持证女性美容师进行了邮件调查。我们通过一份简短的筛查问卷，随后再通过一份更详细的邮件问卷，确定了1983年至1988年期间的怀孕情况。74%符合条件的美容师回复了每一份调查问卷。我们将主要分析限定在96名有自然流产经历的美容师以及547名有单胎活产经历的美容师中，这些美容师在怀孕的头三个月全职从事美容工作或其他工作。调整后的优势比在1.4至2.0之间，我们发现自然流产与每天在美容行业工作的时长、每周进行的化学服务次数、使用基于甲醛的消毒剂以及在有其他员工进行指甲造型的沙龙工作之间存在关联。我们发现在进行很少化学服务的全职美容师以及每周工作少于35小时的美容师中，不存在重要关联。
