The prevalence of byssinosis and nonspecific respiratory symptoms were studied in 194 workers in a cotton mill inmanagua. Limited environmental sampling, performed using a vertical elutriator in yarn preparation and weaving areas, indicated that exposures were similar to those reported in other parts of the developing world. A modified translated version of the Medical Research Council respiratory questionnaire was administered. Pulmonary function tests were performed before and after the Monday workshift to measure across\u2010shift change in ventilatory function. The prevalence of byssinosis was 5.9% and all the cases occurred among exposed women. Nonspecific respiratory symptoms were also more prevalent among exposed workers. After adjusting for age, gender, smoking habit, and work tenure, the exposure odds ratios for usual cough and usual phlegm were 3.3 and 2.2, respectively. The association between exposure and across\u2010shift decrement in FEV, was not significant. Byssinotic workers, however, had greater decrements in FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>% than those without byssinosis: 5.5% versus 1.8%. A consistent gender effect was observed in which both exposed and unexposed women were found to have greater across\u2010shift decrements in FEV, than men. The gender difference existed among long\u2010term workers as well as workers who had been employed less than 2 years. Results are related to cotton dust exposure, as has been documented elsewhere. The poorer health status of the women in this study population deserves follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700200206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,19]],"date-time":"2007-04-19T02:19:37Z","timestamp":1176949177000},"page":"195-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Respiratory disease in a textile factory in nicaragua"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Aurora M.","family":"Velazquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David C.","family":"Christiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rob","family":"McConnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ellen A.","family":"Eisen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Wilcox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/136.5.1285"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-97-5-645"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"25","article-title":"A study of the acute and chronic changes in ventilatory capacity of workers in Lancashire cotton mills","volume":"30","author":"Berry G","year":"1973","journal-title":"Br J Ind Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02714001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","volume-title":"Quastionnaire on Respiratory Symptoms","author":"British Medical Research Council (BMRC), Committee on Research into Chronic Bronchitis","year":"1976"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.2176"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.2175"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","first-page":"A589","article-title":"Cotton dust exposure and longitudinal change in lung function","volume":"141","author":"Christiani DC","year":"1990","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","first-page":"42","article-title":"A survey of respiratory disease in cotton operatives: part II.
