Abstract

BACKGROUND

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms among Northern German farmers in relation to cattle farming characteristics.

METHODS

1735 farmers were visited on their farms and were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire on work-related respiratory symptoms and farming details.

RESULTS

84.6% of the farmers were cattle farmers. The prevalence of work-related respiratory symptoms was 40.3%. In a multiple logistic regression model adjusting for response rate, age, gender, and smoking habits, work-related respiratory symptoms were shown to be significantly associated with the ventilation of the cattle house (OR (ventilation via the wall): 0.57), feeding management (OR (feeding once daily): 0.53), and plant crop (OR: 0. 75). Farmers, living inland, showed a significant higher prevalence of work-related respiratory symptoms (OR: 1.34).

CONCLUSIONS

The use of ventilation via the wall might be recommended for new cattle houses in regions with warm winters.

摘要

背景

这项横断面研究的目的是调查德国北部农民中呼吸道症状的患病率与养牛特征之间的关系。

方法

对1735名农民进行家访，并使用标准化问卷就与工作相关的呼吸道症状和养殖细节进行访谈。

结果

84.6%的农民是养牛户。与工作相关的呼吸道症状患病率为40.3%。在调整了回复率、年龄、性别和吸烟习惯的多元逻辑回归模型中，与工作相关的呼吸道症状被证明与牛舍通风（比值比（通过墙壁通风）：0.57）、饲养管理（比值比（每天喂食一次）：0.53）和种植作物（比值比：0.75）显著相关。居住在内陆的农民与工作相关的呼吸道症状患病率显著更高（比值比：1.34）。
