标题:Mortality Among Persons with Both Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Aged ≥25 Years, by Industry and Occupation — United States, 1999–2016
摘要:What is already known about this topic? Patients with features of both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), termed asthma-COPD overlap, have been reported to have worse health outcomes than those with asthma or COPD alone. What is added by this report? During 1999–2016, 18,766 U.S. decedents aged ≥25 years had asthma and COPD assigned on their death certificates as the underlying or contributing cause of death. Among adults aged 25–64 years, asthma-COPD overlap mortality was associated with nonworking status among men and women and bartending among women. What are the implications for public health practice? Excess risk for asthma-COPD overlap mortality among adults in certain industries and occupations suggests targets for public health interventions to prevent asthma and COPD in and out of the workplace.
