To examine the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among nonsmokers by occupation in the United States.
The 1997 to 2004 National Health Interview Survey data for working adults aged 25 years or more were used to estimate the COPD prevalence and to examine change in COPD prevalence between 1997 to 2000 and 2001 to 2004 by occupational groups.
During 1997 to 2004, COPD prevalence was 2.8%. The COPD prevalence was highest in financial records processing (4.6%) occupations. There was a slight increase in COPD prevalence during the two survey periods from 2.8% during 1997 to 2000 compared with 2.9% during 2001 to 2004.
No significant changes in the COPD prevalence between the two periods were found. Nevertheless, the elevated COPD prevalence in certain occupational groups suggests that other risk factors play a role in developing COPD.
在美国,按职业划分,研究非吸烟者中慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的流行情况。
利用 1997 年至 2004 年 25 岁及以上成年人的全国健康访谈调查数据,估计 COPD 的流行率,并按职业群体检查 1997 年至 2000 年与 2001 年至 2004 年之间 COPD 流行率的变化。
在 1997 年至 2004 年期间,COPD 的患病率为 2.8%。财务记录处理(4.6%)职业的 COPD 患病率最高。与 1997 年至 2000 年期间的 2.8%相比,在两个调查期间 COPD 的患病率略有上升,为 2001 年至 2004 年期间的 2.9%。
两个时期 COPD 患病率没有明显变化。然而,某些职业群体 COPD 患病率升高表明,其他危险因素在 COPD 的发展中起作用。
