To estimate the prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among non-smoking Sri Lanka adults as part of a larger study which assessed the burden of obstructive lung disease (BOLD) in Sri Lanka.
The prevalence of COPD among non-smokers was 5.3%, with mild to moderate disease. Among spirometry-diagnosed COPD patients, a higher proportion was females and above age 40. Use of biomass (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.339, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.070-1.821), exposure to passive smoking (OR = 2.376, 95% CI 1.557-3.397) and female sex (OR = 1.353, 95% CI 0.992-1.648) significantly increased the odds of developing COPD and/or related symptoms. Having a chimney, reduced the risk of COPD and/or related symptoms by 29% when cooking with biomass/kerosene.
作为一项评估斯里兰卡阻塞性肺病负担(BOLD)的大型研究的一部分,估算非吸烟的斯里兰卡成年人中慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的患病率。
非吸烟者中COPD的患病率为5.3%,病情为轻度至中度。在通过肺活量测定诊断出的COPD患者中,女性和40岁以上者的比例更高。使用生物质燃料(优势比(OR)=1.339,95%置信区间(CI)1.070 - 1.821)、接触被动吸烟(OR = 2.376,95% CI 1.557 - 3.397)以及女性性别(OR = 1.353,95% CI 0.992 - 1.648)显著增加了患COPD和/或相关症状的几率。有烟囱可使使用生物质燃料/煤油烹饪时患COPD和/或相关症状的风险降低29%。
