Details

• British researchers have found increased use of acetaminophen is associated with a greater prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• The investigators found the prevalence of asthma was 6.9 percent and of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 11.8 percent using U.S. data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Survey III.
• In addition, 2.8 percent had both respiratory diseases.
• Of the group, about 4 percent of participants were daily users of acetaminophen as compared with 8.2 percent for aspirin and 2.5 percent for ibuprofen.
• The researchers said neither the use of aspirin nor the use of ibuprofen was associated with the prevalence of either asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• The findings are published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
