Objectives: Our objective was to study mortality related to different obstructive lung diseases, occupational exposure, and their potential joint effect in a large, randomized population-based cohort.
Methods: We divided the participants based on the answers to asthma and COPD diagnoses and occupational exposure and used a combined effects model and compared the results to no asthma or COPD with no occupational exposure.
Results: High exposure had a hazard ratio (HR) 1.34 (1.11-1.62) and asthma and COPD coexistence 1.58 (1.10-2.27). The combined effects of intermediate exposure and coexistence had a HR 2.20 (1.18-4.09), high exposure with co-existence 1.94 (1.10-3.42) for overall mortality and sub-hazard ratio for respiratory related mortality sHR 3.21 (1.87-5.50).
Conclusions: High occupational exposure increased overall, but not respiratory related mortality hazard while co-existing asthma and COPD overall and respiratory related hazard of mortality
