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
Common risk factors in the development of occupational lung disease include smoking, genetic susceptibility, cardiovascular disease, and frequency, intensity and duration of exposure.
Common Risk Factors
- The higher the duration, frequency and intensity of exposure leads to an increased risk in developing occupational lung disease
- 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
