这项分析是为了评估拉丁裔家禽加工工人中呼吸道阻塞的患病率。数据来自279名家禽加工工人和222名其他体力劳动者，通过肺活量测定仪和面试者填写的问卷收集。受雇于家禽加工的参与者报告了他们在工作中进行的活动。1秒用力呼气量(FEV1)或1秒用力呼气量/用力呼气量(FVC)低于正常下限的受试者被归类为呼吸道阻塞。在13%的家禽加工工人和12%的对照人群中发现了呼吸道阻塞。在家禽加工工人中，去除鸡肉的工人的呼吸道阻塞患病率最高(21%)(患病率：1.75；95%可信区间：0.97，3.15)。这些发现确定了不同工作活动类别之间呼吸道阻塞患病率的差异。
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.
