评估北卡罗来纳州拉丁裔工作男女的家禽加工工作与呼吸健康之间的关联。 2009 年 5 月至 2010 年 11 月期间，402 名家禽加工工人和比较群体中的 339 名工人完成了访谈员填写的问卷。在这些参与者中，279 名家禽加工工人和比较人群中的 222 名工人还完成了肺活量测定测试，以提供 1 秒用力呼气量和用力肺活量的测量结果。对比人群中 9% 的家禽加工工人和 10% 的工人患有哮喘。相对于比较人群，家禽加工人群的调整后平均 1 秒用力呼气量和用力肺活量较低，尤其是从事卫生工作活动的男性。尽管报告的呼吸道症状患病率较低，但家禽加工工作可能会影响肺功能。
To evaluate associations between poultry processing work and respiratory health among working Latino men and women in North Carolina. Between May 2009 and November 2010, 402 poultry processing workers and 339 workers in a comparison population completed interviewer-administered questionnaires. Of these participants, 279 poultry processing workers and 222 workers in the comparison population also completed spirometry testing to provide measurements of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity. Nine percent of poultry processing workers and 10% of workers in the comparison population reported current asthma. Relative to the comparison population, adjusted mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity were lower in the poultry processing population, particularly among men who reported sanitation job activities. Despite the low prevalence of respiratory symptoms reported, poultry processing work may affect lung function.
