Abstract

Background: Endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, and respiratory symptoms affect large numbers of women. A possible association between asthma and endometriosis has been suggested; however, this relationship is unclear. Dysmenorrhea is very common, and potential associations with asthma symptoms are not known. Aim: To study asthma symptoms associated with endometriosis and dysmenorrhea in women. Methods: We used data from the main and women's questionnaires of the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe study, which included data from women (aged 39-65 years) from Aarhus, Gothenburg, Umeå, Uppsala, Reykjavik, Tartu, and Bergen. Current asthma status was defined by asthma medication usage or asthma attacks in the past 12 months. Asthma symptoms were defined as having ≥3 asthma symptoms in the last 12 months. The data were analyzed using logistic regressions adjusted for age, body mass index, and smoking status. Results: Among 4778 study participants, 201 had endometriosis, and 2154 had dysmenorrhea. Current asthma and asthma symptoms were reported by 14.9% and 12.9%, respectively, of women with endometriosis compared with 9.1% and 9.2%, respectively, of women without endometriosis. The associations of current asthma and asthma symptoms with endometriosis were statistically significant (odds ratio [OR]: 1.87, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-2.81; and OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01-2.39, respectively). Similar associations were found for dysmenorrhea (current asthma: OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.21-1.81; ≥3 asthma symptoms: OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.31-1.97). Conclusion: Our study revealed that asthma symptoms were associated with both endometriosis and dysmenorrhea. The associations with dysmenorrhea, which affects a large proportion of women, were almost as strong as the associations with diagnosed endometriosis.

北欧-波罗的海人群中与子宫内膜异位症和痛经相关的哮喘和哮喘症状
背景:子宫内膜异位症、痛经和呼吸道症状影响大量妇女。哮喘和子宫内膜异位症之间可能存在关联;然而,这种关系尚不清楚。痛经很常见,但与哮喘症状的潜在关联尚不清楚。目的:探讨哮喘症状与子宫内膜异位症和痛经的相关性。方法:我们使用北欧呼吸健康研究主要问卷和女性问卷的数据,其中包括来自奥尔胡斯、哥德堡、乌梅夫、乌普萨拉、雷克雅未克、塔尔图和卑尔根的女性(39-65岁)的数据。当前哮喘状态由哮喘药物使用或过去12个月的哮喘发作来定义。哮喘症状定义为在过去12个月内有≥3次哮喘症状。对数据进行逻辑回归分析,调整年龄、体重指数和吸烟状况。结果:在4778名研究参与者中,201人患有子宫内膜异位症,2154人患有痛经。在患有子宫内膜异位症的女性中,分别有14.9%和12.9%报告患有哮喘和哮喘症状,而在没有子宫内膜异位症的女性中,这一比例分别为9.1%和9.2%。当前哮喘和哮喘症状与子宫内膜异位症的相关性具有统计学意义(优势比[OR]: 1.87, 95%可信区间[CI]: 1.25-2.81;OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01-2.39)。痛经也有类似的关联(当前哮喘:OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.21-1.81;≥3个哮喘症状:OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.31-1.97)。结论:我们的研究显示哮喘症状与子宫内膜异位症和痛经均相关。与痛经(影响很大一部分女性)的联系几乎与诊断为子宫内膜异位症的联系一样强烈。
