Prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis among adults in Yaounde, Cameroon
Population-based estimates of asthma and allergic rhinitis in sub-Saharan African adults are lacking. We assessed the prevalence and determinants of asthma and allergic rhinitis in urban adult Cameroonians. A community-based survey was conducted from December 2013 to April 2014 among adults aged 19...

| description | Population-based estimates of asthma and allergic rhinitis in sub-Saharan African adults are lacking. We assessed the prevalence and determinants of asthma and allergic rhinitis in urban adult Cameroonians.
A community-based survey was conducted from December 2013 to April 2014 among adults aged 19 years and above (N = 2,304, 57.3% women), selected through multilevel stratified random sampling across all districts of Yaounde (Capital city). Internationally validated questionnaires were used to investigate the presence of allergic diseases. Logistic regressions were employed to investigate the determinants of allergic conditions.
Prevalence rates were 2.7% (95% CI: 2.1-3.4) for asthma-ever, 6.9% (5.9-7.9) for lifetime wheezing, 2.9% (92.2-3.6) for current wheezing and 11.4% (10.1-12.7) for self-reported lifetime allergic rhinitis; while 240 (10.4%) participants reported current symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and 125 (5.4%) had allergic rhino-conjunctivitis. The prevalence of current asthma medication use and self-reported asthma attack was 0.8 (0.4-1.2) and 1 (0.6-1.4) respectively. Multivariable adjusted determinants of current wheezing were signs of atopic eczema [2.91 (1.09-7.74)] and signs of allergic rhinitis [3.24 (1.83-5.71)]. Age group 31-40 years [0.27(0.09-0.78), p = 0.016] was an independent protective factor for wheezing. Determinants of current rhinitis symptoms were active smoking [2.20 (1.37-3.54), p |

Prevalence rates for asthma and allergic rhinitis among adults in this population were at the lower tails of those reported in other regions of the world. Beside the classical interrelation between allergic diseases found in this study, active smoking was an independent determinant of allergic rhinitis symptoms. Nationwide surveys are needed to investigate regional variations.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123099</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25853516</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Public Library of Science</publisher><subject>Adult ; Adults ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Allergic diseases ; Allergic rhinitis ; Asthma ; Asthma - epidemiology ; Asthma - pathology ; Atopy ; Cameroon - epidemiology ; Conjunctivitis ; Cough - epidemiology ; Data collection ; Demographic aspects ; Determinants ; Disease ; Eczema ; Female ; Food allergies ; Health aspects ; Histamine ; Hospitals ; Households ; Humans ; Internal medicine ; Male ; Medicine ; Middle Aged ; Multivariate Analysis ; Nose ; Outdoor air quality ; Polls & surveys ; Population ; Prevalence ; Prevalence studies (Epidemiology) ; Quality of life ; Random sampling ; Respiratory diseases ; Respiratory Sounds ; Rhinitis ; Rhinitis, Allergic - epidemiology ; Rhinitis, Allergic - pathology ; Risk factors ; Signs and symptoms ; Skin diseases ; Smoking ; Statistical sampling ; Studies ; Surveys ; Systematic review ; Urban Population ; Wheezing ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>PloS one, 2015-04, Vol.10 (4), p.e0123099-e0123099</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2015 Public Library of Science</rights><rights>2015 Pefura-Yone et al.

estimates of asthma and allergic rhinitis in sub-Saharan African adults are lacking. We assessed the prevalence and determinants of asthma and allergic rhinitis in urban adult Cameroonians.
A community-based survey was conducted from December 2013 to April 2014 among adults aged 19 years and above (N = 2,304, 57.3% women), selected through multilevel stratified random sampling across all districts of Yaounde (Capital city). Internationally validated questionnaires were used to investigate the presence of allergic diseases. Logistic regressions were employed to investigate the determinants of allergic conditions.
Prevalence rates were 2.7% (95% CI: 2.1-3.4) for asthma-ever, 6.9% (5.9-7.9) for lifetime wheezing, 2.9% (92.2-3.6) for current wheezing and 11.4% (10.1-12.7) for self-reported lifetime allergic rhinitis; while 240 (10.4%) participants reported current symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and 125 (5.4%) had allergic rhino-conjunctivitis. The prevalence of current asthma medication use and self-reported asthma attack was 0.8 (0.4-1.2) and 1 (0.6-1.4) respectively. Multivariable adjusted determinants of current wheezing were signs of atopic eczema [2.91 (1.09-7.74)] and signs of allergic rhinitis [3.24 (1.83-5.71)]. Age group 31-40 years [0.27(0.09-0.78), p = 0.016] was an independent protective factor for wheezing. Determinants of current rhinitis symptoms were active smoking [2.20 (1.37-3.54), p<0.001], signs of atopic eczema [2.84 (1.48-5.46)] and current wheezing [3.02 (1.70-5.39)].
Prevalence rates for asthma and allergic rhinitis among adults in this population were at the lower tails of those reported in other regions of the world. Beside the classical interrelation between allergic diseases found in this study, active smoking was an independent determinant of allergic rhinitis symptoms. Nationwide surveys are needed to investigate regional variations.</abstract><cop>United States</cop><pub>Public Library of Science</pub><pmid>25853516</pmid><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0123099</doi><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record> |
