Abstract

Background: Bakers are exposed to various irritating chemicals during work which can induce respiratory problems. Therefore, pulmonary function tests and self-reported respiratory and allergic symptoms in bakers were compared with matched control subjects in this study. Methods: The frequency of respiratory and allergic symptoms were evaluated in a sample of 58 Iranian bakers and 58 control subjects with similar age and gender and having other jobs from the general population using a questionnaire included questions on work-related respiratory symptoms in the past year, allergy, smoking habits and working periods as a baker. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) were also measured in all participants.Results: A total of 26 (45%) of participants reported work-related respiratory symptoms. Sputum 17.2%) and breathlessness (12%) were the most common symptoms and only 8.6% of bakers reported cough and wheezing during work. some respiratory symptoms (wheezing and sputum) were significantly higher in baker than control croup (p<0.05 and P<0.005 respectively). In addition some of allergic symptoms in baker were significantly greater than control group (urticaria, p<0.005). However, all respiratory and allergic symptoms were significantly higher in bakers during work copared to rest period (p<0.01 to p<0.001). In addition, all PFT values (except MEF25) in baker were significantly lower compared to control group (p<0.05 to p<0.001).Conclusion: Theses results showed that Bakers have a higher frequency of work related respiratory symptoms and to lesser extend allergic symptoms particularly during the work period. PFT values were also significantly reduced among bakers.
