Early incidence of occupational asthma among young bakers, pastry-makers and hairdressers: design of a retrospective cohort study.

While the incidence among hairdressers is smaller than in the bakery sector, several authors, as Ameille, observed an increasing trend: since the ONAP (Observatoire National des Asthmes Professionnels) was created in France in 1996, the proportion of OA in the hairdressing sector progressed from 5.5% in 1996 to 8% in 1998 and 10% in 2000 [ 22 ], calling for a better surveillance in this occupation.
