Investigation of factors influencing abnormal pulmonary ventilation function in occupational exposed populations and the establishment of a risk prediction model.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors of abnormal pulmonary ventilation function in occupational exposed populations and to establish a risk prediction model. The findings will provide a basis for formulating corresponding strategies for the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases. The study focused on workers who underwent occupational health examinations in the year 2020. Statistical analysis was conducted using methods such as t-tests, chi-square tests, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Additionally, machine learning methods were employed to establish multiple models to address classification problems. Among the 7472 workers who participated in the occupational health examination, 1681 cases of abnormal pulmonary ventilation function were detected, resulting in a detection rate of 22.6%. Based on the analysis of occupational hazard data, a risk prediction model was established. Age, work tenure, type of the employing enterprise, and type of dust exposure are all identified as driving factors for abnormal pulmonary function. These factors were used as predictive variables for establishing the risk prediction model. Among the various models evaluated, the logistic regression model was found to be the optimal model for predicting abnormal pulmonary ventilation function.
