Abstract
Background: The household use of irritant and sprayed cleaning products is an established asthma risk factor, which could motivate consumers to turn to "green" products. However, only two cross-sectional studies, with inconsistent results, evaluated the potential respiratory health impacts of "green" products.
Objective: We investigated 2-years effects on asthma of household use of "green" products and irritants/sprays, using longitudinal data from the French NutriNet-Santé cohort.
Methods: The asthma symptom score and household use of "green" products and irritants/sprays were evaluated using standardized questionnaires in 2018 and 2020. The evolution of weekly use (persistent, increased versus no weekly use) was studied in association with (i) the asthma symptom score in 2020; (ii) the incidence of asthma symptoms between 2018-2020 (incidence vs. asymptomatic); (iii) the evolution of asthma symptoms between 2018-2020 (improvement, deterioration vs. symptomatic stable) by logistic regressions. Models were adjusted for sex, age, smoking status, body mass index, educational level, and use of irritants/sprays (for "green" products).
Results: Our study was based on 30,012 adults (mean age: 49 years(sd:14), 74% women). For irritants/sprays, a persistent (40%) and an increased (26%) use was associated with asthma symptoms (Mean Score Ratio(MSR)=1.26[1.18-1.34] & MSR=1.14[1.06-1.22], respectively), incidence (OR=1.30[1.16-1.45] & OR=1.07[0.95-1.20]), and deterioration (OR=1.48[1.19-1.85] & OR=1.28[1.01-1.64]). For green products, a persistent (20%) and an increased (12%) use was associated with symptoms in 2020 (MSR=1.08[1.01-1.16] & MSR=1.07[0.99-1.16]), and associations were suggested with incidence (OR=1.09[0.97-1.22] & OR=1.11[0.97-1.27]).
Conclusion: Persistent and increased use of irritants/sprays but also "green" products was associated with deleterious effects on asthma over time.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
