This analysis was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of airway obstruction among Latino poultry processing workers. Data were collected from 279 poultry processing workers and 222 other manual laborers via spirometry and interviewer-administered questionnaires. Participants employed in poultry processing reported the activities they perform at work. Participants with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or FEV1/forced expiratory volume (FVC) below the lower limits of normal were categorized as having airway obstruction. Airway obstruction was identified in 13% of poultry processing workers and 12% of the comparison population. Among poultry processing workers, the highest prevalence of airway obstruction (21%) occurred among workers deboning chickens (prevalence ratio: 1.75; 95% confidence interval: 0.97, 3.15). These findings identify variations in the prevalence of airway obstruction across categories of work activities.
进行这项分析是为了评估拉丁裔家禽加工工人气道阻塞的患病率。通过肺活量测定法和访谈员管理的问卷，从279名家禽加工工人和222名其他体力劳动者中收集了数据。受雇于家禽加工行业的参与者报告了他们在工作中执行的活动。1秒用力呼气量（FEV1）或FEV1/用力肺活量（FVC）低于正常下限的参与者被归类为患有气道阻塞。在家禽加工工人中，13%被确定患有气道阻塞，在对照人群中这一比例为12%。在家禽加工工人中，气道阻塞患病率最高（21%）的是从事鸡肉去骨工作的工人（患病率比：1.75；95%置信区间：0.97，3.15）。这些发现确定了不同工作活动类别中气道阻塞患病率的差异。
