Hormonal factors and incident asthma and allergic rhinitis during puberty in girls.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2015 May 21;
Authors: Wei J, Gerlich J, Genuneit J, Nowak D, Vogelberg C, von Mutius E, Radon K
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence is indicating that hormonal factors play a role in new-onset allergic rhinitis and asthma after puberty.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether age at menarche and use of hormonal contraceptives predict new-onset allergic rhinitis and asthma after puberty in young German women.
METHODS: A prospective community-based cohort study followed 1,191 girls 9 to 11 years old to early adulthood (19-24 years old). Self-administrated questionnaires concerning age at menarche, use of hormonal contraceptives, and status and age at onset of physician-diagnosed allergic rhinitis and asthma were collected at 16 to 18 and 19 to 24 years of age. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the incidence of asthma and allergic rhinitis after puberty and pooled estimates were obtained from the final model.
RESULTS: Eleven percent of girls developed allergic rhinitis after menarche and 3% reported new-onset asthma. Late menarche (>13 years of age) was statistically significantly inversely related to allergic rhinitis (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14-0.74) but did not reach the level of statistical significance for asthma (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.07-1.42). Use of hormonal contraceptives was inversely associated with new-onset allergic rhinitis (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.08-0.23) and asthma (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.12-0.58) after puberty.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that girls with late onset of menarche are less likely to develop allergic rhinitis after puberty compared with those who have menarche at an average age. These findings also suggest that, in addition to endogenous hormones, hormonal contraceptives play a role and might protect young women from allergies and asthma.

Ambient Air Pollution Exposure and Incident Adult Asthma in a Nationwide Cohort of US Women.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2014 Aug 29;
Authors: Young MT, Sandler DP, DeRoo LA, Vedal S, Kaufman JD, London SJ
Abstract
Rationale: Limited prior data suggests an association between traffic-related air pollution and incident asthma in adults. No published studies assess the effect of long-term exposures to particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) on adult incident asthma. Objectives: To estimate the association between ambient air pollution exposures (PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide, NO2) and development of asthma and incident respiratory symptoms. Methods: The Sister Study is a US cohort study of risk factors for breast cancer and other health outcomes (n=50,884) in sisters of women with breast cancer (enrollment: 2003-2009). Annual average (2006) ambient PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations were estimated at participants’ addresses using a national land-use/kriging model incorporating roadway information. Outcomes at follow-up (2008-2012) included incident self-reported wheeze, chronic cough, and doctor-diagnosed asthma in women without baseline symptoms. Measures and Main Results: Adjusted analyses included 254 incident cases of asthma, 1,023 of wheeze, and 1,559 of chronic cough. For an interquartile range (IQR) difference (3.6 µg/m3) in estimated PM2.5 exposure, the adjusted odds-ratio (aOR) was 1.20 (95% CI=0.99-1.46, P=0.063) for incident asthma and 1.14 (95% CI=1.04-1.26, P=0.008) for incident wheeze. For NO2, there was evidence for an association with incident wheeze (aOR=1.08, 95% CI=1.00-1.17, P=0.048 per IQR of 5.8 ppb). Neither pollutant was significantly associated with incident cough (PM2.5: aOR=0.95, 95% CI=0.88-1.03, P=0.194, NO2: aOR=1.00, 95% CI=0.93-1.07, P=0.939). Conclusions: Results suggest that PM2.5 exposure increases the risk of developing asthma and PM2.5 and NO2 increase the risk of developing wheeze, the cardinal symptom of asthma, in adult women.
