BACKGROUD: The aim was to study the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and assess
the lung function of fish smokers in Nigeria. METHODS: A case control study was
done among fish smokers in Nigeria. Women aged 15 years or older (n=210) involved
in fish smoking and equal number of matched controls were interviewed on
respiratory symptoms and their peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measured. Data
was analysed using chi square test, student's t-test and odd ratios. RESULTS:
Both groups were similar in their personal characteristics. The test group had
significantly increased occurrence of sneezing (153; 72.86%), catarrh (159;
75.71%), cough (138; 65.71%) and chest pain (59; 28.10%) compared with the
control group, odds ratio (OR) 2.49, 95% confidence interval CI (1.62-3.82), P <
0.001), OR 3.77,95% CI (2.44- 5.85), P < 0.001, OR 3.38, 95% CI (2.22-5.15), P <
0.001, and OR 6.45,95% CI (3.22-13.15), P < 0.001, respectively. The mean PEFR of
321±58.93 L/min among the fish smokers was significantly lower than 400±42.92
L/min among the controls (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Fish smokers have increased
risk of respiratory symptoms and reduced pulmonary function. There is a need for
protective equipment and periodic evaluation.
