Abstract

Objective: To determine whether specific occupations and industries may be associated with sarcoidosis. Methods: A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis (ACCESS) obtained occupational and environmental histories on 706 newly diagnosed sarcoidosis cases and matched controls. We used Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) to assess occupational contributions to sarcoidosis risk. Results: Univariable analysis identified elevated risk of sarcoidosis for workers with industrial organic dust exposures, especially in Caucasian workers. Workers for suppliers of building materials, hardware, and gardening materials were at an increased risk of sarcoidosis as were educators. Work providing childcare was negatively associated with sarcoidosis risk. Jobs with metal dust or metal fume, exposures were negatively associated with sarcoidosis risk, especially in Caucasian workers. Conclusions: In this study, we found that exposures in particular occupational setting may contribute to sarcoidosis risk.
