Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Assess the prevalence of current asthma, asthma attacks/episodes, and asthma-related emergency room (ER) visits by industry and occupation and estimate the proportion of current asthma cases associated with employment during 2020-2021.
UNASSIGNED: The 2020-2021 National Health Interview Survey data for persons aged ≥18 years who were employed at any time during the 12 months prior to the interview were analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: An estimated 12.7 million US working adults had current asthma. Of those, 40% had an asthma attack/episode and 8.6% had an asthma-related ER visit. Prevalence varied by sociodemographic characteristics, industry, and occupation. Highest asthma prevalence was among workers in the administrative, support, waste management, and remediation industry and the community and social services occupation. Nearly half of workers with current asthma in the arts, entertainment, and recreation industry and arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations reported having an asthma attack/episode. Workers in the accommodations and food services industry and food preparation and serving related occupation had the highest asthma-related ER visits. The proportion of current asthma cases attributable to employment was estimated to be 9.2% by industry and 12.2% by occupation.
UNASSIGNED: An estimated 1.2-1.5 million asthma cases among workers might be attributable to employment by industry and occupation. Disparities in asthma prevalence, asthma attacks/episodes and asthma-related ER visits among workers exist. These findings underscore the importance of early identification of asthma cases in relation to work and implementation of targeted interventions (including, training and education, personal protective equipment use, health surveillance, workplace policies), especially among workers employed in industries and occupations with elevated asthma prevalence.

摘要：
■评估当前哮喘的患病率，哮喘发作/发作，和按行业和职业划分的哮喘相关急诊室（ER）访问，并估计2020-2021年与就业相关的当前哮喘病例的比例。
■分析了2020-2021年全国健康访谈调查数据，这些数据适用于在访谈前12个月内任何时间受雇的18岁以上的人。
■估计有1270万美国工作成年人目前患有哮喘。其中,40%有哮喘发作/发作，8.6%有哮喘相关的ER访视。患病率因社会人口统计学特征而异，工业,和职业。哮喘患病率最高的是行政部门的工作人员，支持,废物管理，和修复行业以及社区和社会服务职业。将近一半的艺术工作者患有目前的哮喘，娱乐,娱乐业和艺术，设计,娱乐,体育,和媒体职业报告有哮喘发作/发作。住宿和食品服务行业以及食品准备和服务相关职业的工人与哮喘相关的ER就诊次数最高。目前归因于就业的哮喘病例的比例估计为按行业划分的9.2%和按职业划分的12.2%。
■工人中估计有120万至150万例哮喘病例可能归因于按行业和职业划分的就业。哮喘患病率的差异，工人退出时哮喘发作/发作和哮喘相关的ER访视。这些发现强调了早期识别哮喘病例与工作和实施有针对性的干预措施(包括,培训和教育，个人防护设备的使用，健康监测,工作场所政策)，特别是在哮喘患病率升高的行业和职业中就业的工人中。
