Overview
Common risk factors in the development of occupational lung disease include smoking, genetic susceptibility, cardiovascular disease, and frequency, intensity, and duration of exposure.
Risk Factors
- The higher the duration, frequency, and intensity of exposure leads to an increased risk in developing occupational lung disease.[1]
- Common risk factors in the development of occupational lung disease include:
- Smoking
- Weakens the immune system and leaves the body defenseless against inhaled substances
- Cardiovascular disease
- Also causes immunocompromisation
- Pre-existing lung disease
- Also causes immunocompromisation
- Alcohol use
- Also causes immunocompromisation
- Genetics
- Explains the variability in symptoms, presentation, susceptibility, and progression
- Obesity
- Higher risk of asthma and cardiovascular disease
- Smoking
