Impact of solid fuel use on asthma prognosis and consistent peak expiratory flow changes: Evidence from China by Yuexi Chen, Shuojia Xie, Xirong Chen, Xiaowen Zhong, Linhang Yang, Weitong Lin, Junfeng Huang, Ruchong Chen

“…Results: Among the 12025 individuals surveyed, use of solid fuels was significantly associated to increased asthma risk and a decrease in PEF among the Chinese population (P < 0.001), with consistent trends noted across categories of age, gender, and smoking habits. The survival analysis demonstrated that, when contrasted with non-asthmatic individuals using cleaner fuel, the risk of all-cause mortality was 1.63 times higher (95 % CI = 1.33, 2.00, p < 0.001) in asthmatic individuals regularly using solid fuels. …”
