Abstract

Objectives. This study examined the impact of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on health status and work disability. Methods. We used data from a population-based sample of 3805 California adults. Results. Compared with adults with no chronic health conditions, adults with COPD or asthma had a greater risk of self-reported diminished general health (odds ratio [OR]=10.95; 95% confidence interval [CI]=6.31, 19.0 and OR=3.92; 95% CI=2.31, 6.65, respectively). Respondents with COPD or asthma also had worse mental health status, as indicated by a greater risk of depressive symptoms (OR=10.05; 95% CI=5.29, 19.08 and OR=2.59; 95% CI=1.33, 5.04). COPD was associated with reduced current employment (OR=0.41; 95% CI=0.24, 0.71). Conclusions. Asthma and COPD are associated with poor health status and greater work disability.
