Resumen

Antecedentes: El asma, una enfermedad pulmonar inflamatoria crónica, es una de las principales causas de discapacidad, demanda de recursos sanitarios y mala calidad de vida. Es necesario identificar los factores de riesgo relacionados con el asma para reducir la presencia y el desarrollo de los síntomas.

Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar la asociación de múltiples factores posibles con los síntomas de asma en dos subpoblaciones, niños, adolescentes y adultos, en seis ciudades de Colombia.

Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional analítico de casos y controles basado en un estudio transversal realizado como análisis secundario de la prevalencia de asma y otras enfermedades alérgicas en Colombia durante 2009 y 2010. Se realizaron regresiones logísticas ponderadas para cada población.

Resultados: De los 5978 sujetos de la encuesta transversal, 747 fueron identificados como casos y 3109 como controles. La prevalencia de asma fue de 30,8% en la población infantil y adolescente y de 14,7% en la población adulta. Entre los diversos factores estudiados, los asociados a los síntomas de asma en niños/adolescentes fueron: antecedentes familiares de asma (OR 2,4; IC 95% 1,3-4,7) y rinitis (OR 2,0; IC 95% 1,1-3,6); consumo de paracetamol al menos una vez al mes (OR 3,6; IC 95% 2,1-6,2); y presencia de aves en el hogar (OR 2,0; IC 95% 1,1-3,8). Respecto al consumo de alimentos: consumo de frutas (OR 3,8; IC 95% 1,1-12,7). En adultos, los factores que mostraron asociación significativa fueron: antecedentes familiares de enfermedades alérgicas (rinitis OR 3,3; IC 95% 2,3-4,6), eczema atópico (OR 4,4; IC 95% 2,8-7,0) o asma (OR 1,8; IC 95% 1,3-2,6); consumo de paracetamol al menos una vez al mes (OR 2,0; 1,5-2,8); presencia de perros en casa (OR 1,4; IC 95% 1,03-1,8), exposición al humo de tabaco ajeno (OR 1,7; IC 95% 1,2-2,2) y exposición a gases de escape durante el día (OR 1,7; IC 95% 1,04-2,7).

Conclusiones: Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que diferentes factores culturales, ambientales y familiares están asociados con los síntomas de asma en niños y adolescentes, y estas asociaciones son evidentes tanto en hombres como en mujeres.
