Abstract

Background

Exposure to birds has been linked with several lung pathologies and especially hypersensitivity pneumonitis, but discordant literature exist on the potential effects of this exposure on other respiratory pathologies.

Aim

This study aims to examine the associations between bird ownership and asthma, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in older European adults.

Methods

A total of 28,109 participants from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe were employed and analyzed with multivariate logistic regressions.

Results

No association was found with asthma or lung cancer. Bird ownership increased the odds for COPD diagnosis (OR=1.30; 95 % CI: 1.12–1.51) and more so in males (OR=1.53; 95 % CI: 1.25–1.87) after adjustment for demographic, respiratory, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. Male bird owners who smoke had an even more increased risk compared to non-smokers, as did those who lived in multi-person households compared to those living alone.

Conclusion: Bird ownership may be positively associated with COPD in older European males.

除过敏性肺炎外，欧洲老年人禽类拥有权和肺部结局

暴露于鸟类与几种肺部疾病有关，特别是过敏性肺炎，但关于暴露于鸟类对其他呼吸道疾病的潜在影响存在不一致的文献。目的本研究旨在研究欧洲老年人养鸟与哮喘、肺癌和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)之间的关系。方法采用多因素logistic回归分析欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查的28,109名参与者。结果与哮喘、肺癌无相关性。养鸟增加COPD诊断的几率(OR=1.30;95% CI: 1.12-1.51)，男性更甚(OR=1.53;95% CI: 1.25-1.87)，校正了人口统计学、呼吸、生活方式和社会经济因素。与不吸烟的男性相比，吸烟的男性养鸟者患肺癌的风险更高，与独居的男性相比，多口之家的男性患肺癌的风险更高。结论:养鸟可能与老年欧洲男性COPD呈正相关。
