Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has a significant impact on quality of life-related health.
It was the detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by using telemetric methods and the investigation of the quality of life for people working in Shipbuilding Industry compared with a control group.
A group of one hundred men working in the shipbuilding industry aged 51.8 ± 8.2 years old and a control group of one hundred men of the general population aged 51.1 ± 6.4 years were studied. All participants completed the General Health Questionnaire - 28, the Fagerstrom test and a form with demographic characteristics. Pulmonary function test results were electronically sent to a specialist for evaluation.
People working in the shipbuilding zone had significantly lower values (p<0.001) in FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC compared with the general population participants. Worse social functionality was exhibited by workers in the shipbuilding zone, people with elementary education, unemployed and by those suffering from comorbidities (p <0.001).
Health level and its individual dimensions are both associated with health self-assessment and occupational and economic status. The coexistence of chronic diseases and smoking dependence affects emotion and social functioning of individuals.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)对与生活质量相关的健康有重大影响。
通过遥测方法检测慢性阻塞性肺疾病,并与对照组相比,调查造船业从业人员的生活质量。
研究了一组年龄在51.8±8.2岁的100名造船业男性工人和一组年龄在51.1±6.4岁的100名普通男性对照组。所有参与者都完成了一般健康问卷-28、法格斯特龙测试以及一份包含人口统计学特征的表格。肺功能测试结果通过电子方式发送给专家进行评估。
与普通人群参与者相比,造船区的工人在用力肺活量(FVC)、第一秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)和FEV1/FVC方面的值显著更低(p<0.001)。造船区的工人、小学文化程度的人、失业者以及患有合并症的人表现出更差的社会功能(p<0.001)。
健康水平及其各个维度都与健康自我评估以及职业和经济状况相关。慢性病和吸烟依赖的共存会影响个体的情绪和社会功能。
