Abstract:
Objective In order to explore the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)among residents aged over 40 in Yongjia County,and to provide basic data for the prevention and control strategies and measures of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Residents were investigated by questionnaire investigation,body measurements, and pulmonary function tests.Questionnaire survey was including demographic information,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease knowledge awareness,personal and family history of the disease,respiratory symptoms,case management of respiratory diseases,risk factors.Body measurements were including height,body weight,waist circumference,blood pressure and heart rate.Pulmonary function tests was including one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1 ),forced expiratory volume (FEV6 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC ).Results A total of 585 residents were investigated, including 85 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,and the prevalence rate of 1 4. 53%.Male chronic obstructive pulmonary morbidity was higher than female (χ2 =44. 29,P=0. 001 ),and with age increased,the prevalence rate increased (χ2 =1 9. 56,P<0. 001 ).Single factor analysis showed that the main risk factors were male,age ≥40, often cough /expectoration,smoking,occupational exposure history.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=1 . 962,95%CI:1 . 025 -3. 757),expectoration (OR=2. 346,95%CI:1 . 1 48 -4. 794)and age (in the age group of 50:OR=2. 561 ,95%CI:1 . 221 -5. 372;age≥60(OR=7. 438,95%CI:3. 601 -1 5. 361 )were the risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Conclusion Chronic obstructive pneumonia has become a public health problem that affects the health of the residents.We should take effective preventive measures against the risk factors.
