暴露于空气污染物与儿童哮喘控制不良有关,是肺功能受损、急救药物使用和哮喘相关医疗保健利用增加的潜在可改变风险因素。需要确定与哮喘最相关的污染物以及易感因素和减少暴露的策略,以改善儿童健康。目前可用的文献支持污染物和负面哮喘结果之间的关联。种族、社会经济地位和某些基因多态性的存在可能会影响对空气污染负面健康影响的易感性。改善空气质量标准与更好的哮喘结果相关。空气污染和儿童哮喘发病率之间的联系得到了最近相关文献的支持。需要继续努力,查明最脆弱的人群,并制定减少接触和改善空气质量的战略。
Exposure to air pollutants is linked with poor asthma control in children and represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for impaired lung function, rescue medication use, and increased asthma-related healthcare utilization. Identification of the most relevant pollutants to asthma as well as susceptibility factors and strategies to reduce exposure are needed to improve child health. The current available literature supports the association between pollutants and negative asthma outcomes. Ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and presence of certain gene polymorphisms may impact susceptibility to the negative health effects of air pollution. Improved air quality standards were associated with better asthma outcomes. The link between air pollution and pediatric asthma morbidity is supported by the recent relevant literature. Continued efforts are needed to identify the most vulnerable populations and develop strategies to reduce exposures and improve air quality.
