Abstract:
Objective To analyze the relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and lung function in healthy residents and adult asthma patients. Methods The basic information, self-reported exposure history of noise and productive dust, and behavior and living habits of 1009 healthy community residents and 1009 adult asthma patients were collected and lung function of all subjects was measured. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and lung function in heathy residents and asthma patients, and stratified analysis was used to analyze the influence of self-reported productive dust exposure on the association between self-reported occupational noise exposure and lung function. Results Compared with the population without self-reported occupational noise exposure, the actual value of FVC was decreased by 0.22 L in healthy residents with self-reported occupational noise exposure history, and the actual values of FVC and FEV1 in asthmatic patients with acute attack were significantly reduced by 0.39 L and 0.31 L, respectively. In populations without self-reported productive dust exposure, stratified analysis showed that the levels of FVC, FEV1 and PEF in asthma patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure were significantly lower than those without the exposure (P<0.05). Furthermore, the actual values of FEV1, PEF and FEV1/FVC were significantly decreased by 1.48 L, 3.56 L/s and 28.45% when asthma patients were in a persistent attack stage, respectively. In populations with self-reported productive dust exposure, the levels of FVC and PEF were declined by 0.25 L and 0.77 in healthy residents with both self-reported both occupational noise and dust exposure, respectively. However, there was no significant difference of lung function in asthma patients whether or not with self-reported occupational noise exposure. Conclusion Self-reported occupational noise exposure is associated with declined lung function in heathy residents and asthma patients, and the combined effect of self-reported occupational noise and dust exposure may be even greater on lung function of healthy population than that of adult asthma patients.
