| Summary: | Studies suggests an association between occupational exposure in the construction industry and lung cancer. However, the evidence from the literature is limited. A systematic review and metaanalysis were performed to assess the risk of lung cancer in construction workers. Cohort, case control and review studies were included, whose participants were construction workers, with a medical diagnosis of lung cancer, and data reporting for risk assessment. In total, 1699 studies were potentially identified, but only 18 case-control studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The studies totaled 133,190 participants; 11479 from the construction sector (6112 cases and 5367 controls) and 121711 who works in other industries and has never worked in construction (56744 cases and 64967 controls). The random effects meta-analysis revealed an increased risk of lung cancer in construction workers (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.07-1.40; Z = 2.97; p = 0.003) compared to the referential group. There was an increased risk of lung cancer in bricklayers (OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.56 - 2.01, Z = 8.81, p <0.00001), carpenters (OR = 1.31, CI95 % = 1.02 - 1.69; Z = 2.11; p = 0.04) and plumbers (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.09 - 1.95; Z = 2.51; p = 0.01). While, for asbestos (OR = 1.00; 95% CI = 0.43 - 2.32; Z = 0.00; p = 1.00). Limited data in primary studies did not allow analysis for other contaminants. The results evaluated for rulers and researchers because they integrate and validate the evidence on the health effects of construction workers due to occupational exposure. |
