women seem to be have to be more concerned about health care when entering the menopause. Section, enter the menopause fact is that while vulnerable to the occurrence of various types of respiratory disease, including asthma.
Six months before the period menopause decrease estrogen hormone levels that cause declining organ function, including the lungs, respiratory disease seeds make it easier to enter, one of which is asthma.
“We found that in some women, hormone changes in the period menopause show symptoms of asthma worse. So cautious is very important for asthma in times like this,” said Dr Victoria King, Research Development Manager Asthma, the UK, such as the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
King concluded that based on research of more than 1200 women. The volunteers that have a prior history of disease associated with poor lung function and disease other for six months before the last period menopauses. The findings indicate decreasing estrogen levels, most women suffer the lean body.
They also measure the level of hormones in women aged between 45-65 years. The result is similar to the analysis on women who had never smoked. Women with a body of the index is lower than 23 have four times the risk of symptoms of respiratory system.
This problem is also related to women with excess body weight. Although estrogen was reduced in all women to follow the menopause, researchers revealed that women with the most lean more reduced level estrogenic.
However, in women who have excess body weight issues, the protection effect of estrogen show a more dominant rather than other factors.
Dr Victoria King said, the relevance of this research between menopause and asthma. However this is too early to declare exactly how to give effect menopause asthma symptoms, and who are profiles of people most affected by asthma is a risk.
“The most interesting is the support of previous findings showing that the effect on the function may menopause, will be higher in lean women with a body of the index lower,” he said.
Dr Francisco Gomez Real from the University of Bergen, Norway, said that clinic staff should be aware of growth and risk of asthma decreased lung function in women during the period menopause.
“This problem appears and will be reduced among women with the body of the 25 index,” he said.
Research also shows that previous work to clean the house can cause asthma. A study of using spray equipment cleaning up the house and the air at least once a week can increase the risk of asthma affected. The use of the equipment more often than this is associated with asthma, but recent studies show that the use of rare or once in a while also still provide risk.
Studies conducted in Spain involving 3500 respondents is published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Increased risk of asthma is highly associated with the frequency of cleaning and spray used. Air cleaning spray glass cleaner and furniture bring the highest risk of asthma. Expose cleaning product estimated 15 percent or cause one of the five cases of asthma in adults, so the results of the study.
On average, the risk to be 30-50 percent higher in people who regularly use the spray, compared to other cleaning tools. In the incidence of diagnosed cases of asthma to be higher in the use of spray at least four days a week. Studies led Dr Jan Paul Zock and colleagues from the Municipal Institute of Medical Research in Barcelona said that the goal needed biological mechanism behind the increased risk. “It may be that the spray contains a special substance irritation that can cause asthma,” he said.
