Abstract

The prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis has increased worldwide during the 1970s and 1980s.This study was aimed at evaluating whether the increasing trend in prevalence persisted during the 1990s in the young adult Italian population.In 1998 to 2000 a screening questionnaire was sent by mail to a general population sample aged 20 to 44 years; nonresponders were contacted again first by mail and then by phone, achieving a final response rate of 78.1% (6876 of 8800). Prevalence estimates, adjusted to correct for nonresponse bias, were compared with those recorded in Italy in 1991 to 1993 during the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, when response rate had been slightly higher (87.6%). Temporal variations in symptom prevalence were analyzed by a logistic regression model, controlling for sex, age, site of residence (urban vs suburban areas), season of response, response rate, and type of contact (mail vs phone).The prevalence of asthma attacks did not vary significantly from 1991 to 1993 (3.6%) to 1998 to 2000 (3.2%) (P =.188). The prevalence of asthma-like symptoms (wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath) tended to decrease in the age classes of 32.5 to 45 years, while increasing in the youngest age class (20 to 26 years). A clear-cut increase from 15.4% to 18.3% was observed for the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (P.001), whereas the proportion of people under antiasthmatic treatment increased in suburban areas but not in urban areas (interaction time-site of residence, P.001).Asthma prevalence has not increased during the last decade in Italy. The persistence of an increasing trend in allergic rhinitis prevalence deserves attention.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of asthma and asthma-like symptoms in the general population of Verona. A screening questionnaire, with seven questions on respiratory symptoms, was sent by mail to 3000 randomly selected subjects, aged 20-44 yrs. After three subsequent mailings, nonresponders were interviewed by telephone. The overall response rate was 92%. At least one respiratory symptom was reported by 44% subjects. The prevalence of the most frequent symptoms differed according to the type of contact: early respondents (i.e. those who responded by mail) were more likely to report symptoms than late respondents (i.e. those who were interviewed by telephone). Wheezing was reported by 11.3% of males and 8.0% of females (p < 0.01). The allergic rhinitis and hay-fever prevalence was 16.9% with no differences owing to sex or age. The prevalence of an "episode of asthma" (defined as a self-reported attack of asthma or treatment for asthma) and of "current asthma" (defined as a self-reported attack of asthma, treatment for asthma or wheezing other than due to a cold with dyspnoea in the last 12 months) was 4.1 and 4.7%, respectively. No differences were found on the basis of age and sex. The prevalence of asthma was greater in urban (5.0%) than in suburban (2.7%) areas (p < 0.05), where lower pollution levels were registered. The greater prevalence in urban areas suggests that some factors related to the urban environment could play a role in the development of asthma and asthma-like disorders.

Abstract

The predisposition to LDL oxidation during copper-catalyzed oxidative modification and its relationship with LDL alpha-tocopherol concentration was studied in 41 control subjects. The results show that the predisposition of LDL to oxidation expressed as duration of the inhibition period and rate of the propagation period varied greatly in the controls, but did not correlate with the values of LDL alpha-tocopherol. On the contrary the experiments with alpha-tocopherol incorporated in LDL demonstrate that even small increases of incorporated alpha-tocopherol, under circumstances where other variables were probably largely unaffected, increased proportionally the length of the inhibition period and reduced the rate of the propagation period. The values of LDL alpha-tocopherol achieved after the enrichment turned out to be positively correlated with the duration of the inhibition period and negatively with the rate of the propagation period. Finally the results of this study also show that there was a variability in the LDL alpha-tocopherol decay of different subjects under the same oxidative stress. In our conditions however, the time in which alpha-tocopherol contributed to the LDL protection was much shorter than the mean length of the inhibition period. The results demonstrate that the variability in the predisposition to LDL oxidation during copper-catalyzed oxidative modification is not determined only by the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in LDL and that therefore its value as a sole indicator of antioxidant status is probably inadequate.
