The epidemiology of work-related asthma.

Abstract:

:Much has been learned from epidemiologic studies conducted in the past 4 decades that can be directly applied to the management of workers affected with occupational asthma. Studies have provided information about host factors, environmental exposure, and occupational agents posing the highest risks for development of severe irreversible airway obstruction and asthma disability. Investigators have developed methods for screening workers at risk and novel interventions that may prevent new cases among exposed worker populations. Less is known about the natural history and chronic morbidity associated with work-aggravated asthma and irritant-induced asthma syndromes; more studies are needed in at-risk worker populations.
