ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The prevalence of adult asthma is around 6-7% in France. This disease is multifactorial and is related in particular to occupational factors. Using data from The French Health, Health Care and Insurance Survey (ESPS), this study aimed to describe asthma prevalence in France according to socio-economic status in 2012.METHODS:
This analysis included the population aged 15 years and over. Current asthma, defined by a declaration of having asthma in the last 12 months, was analyzed according to socio-economic variables available in the ESPS survey.RESULTS:
Among the 23,047 subjects interviewed, 12,565 were included in the analysis. Current asthma frequency was 7.4%. Higher risk of asthma was observed in unemployed, non-qualified persons, with a lower income, or having free healthcare insurance. Regarding occupations, in men, trade and commerce employees, personal services employees and administrative employees were associated with a higher level of current asthma prevalence.CONCLUSIONS:
These results show that subjects with lower socio-economic status are more likely to suffer from asthma. New epidemiological tools in France, including cohorts (Constances, COSET) will be helpful to study more precisely the associations between asthma and occupational factors.Palabras clave
