Prevalence of Chronic Bronchitis-Asthma Symptoms in Biomass Fuel Exposed Females

Prevalence of Chronic Bronchitis-Asthma Symptoms in Biomass Fuel Exposed Females

Objectives: We investigated whether exposure to biomass fuel is a potential risk factor for chronic bronchitis and asthma among females in rural area in Van (east Turkey). Methods: The effect of indoor pollution producing various respiratory symptoms was studied in 177 females. Of these, 90 were tho...

description Objectives: We investigated whether exposure to biomass fuel is a potential risk factor for chronic bronchitis and asthma among females in rural area in Van (east Turkey). Methods: The effect of indoor pollution producing various respiratory symptoms was studied in 177 females. Of these, 90 were those who used biomass fuel and 87 were nonusers of biomass fuel. A part of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey questionnaire and British Medical Research Council questionnaire were used. Results: Asthma related symptoms (AS) (wheezing, and combination of wheezing without a cold and wheezing with breathlessness) were reported in 63.3% of those who used biomass fuel, and in 12.9% of nonusers (p0.05). Long term cough and/or morning cough together with sputum (chronic bronchitis symptoms (BS) was reported as 58.9% in the user group, and 29.4% in the nonuser group (p
