  • This work was designed to investigate the identification by questionnaire of asthma in general, and work-related asthma in particular, to assist in producing a questionnaire to identify work-related asthma. A previous postal survey of a community in central Scotland provided a complete data set for almost 12,000 subjects of working age, with responses to a range of questions on respiratory symptoms and their relationship to occupation. For those subjects who had recorded the occupation held when symptoms began, the existing data were augmented by an exposure assessment to characterise exposures typical of those occupations. Certain symptoms were associated, tending to occur together, and a number of syndromes were defined in terms of these. Some limited associations between these syndromes and occupational exposures were identified, particularly with irritant and highly reactive chemicals, and exposure to proteins and other organic substances. Occupational histories from the postal survey have not yet been processed and future work on could provide further insight into occupational associations of syndromes. The syndromes suggested a much higher prevalence of work-related asthmatic symptoms than reported by the Labour Force Survey questions, but the reasons for this excess were not clear. For a few subjects, clinical assessments had been made, but from an initial look the agreement with the questionnaire-based syndromes was fairly poor. More intensive reworking of the clinical data revealed relationships with childhood asthma and exposure to known asthmagens that may help to guide future questionnaire design. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.
