OBJECTIVES
To determine if there is a difference in the prevalence of abnormal spirometry in female adult residents of OLBAC who have significant and nonsignificant exposure to biomass fuel smoke
METHODSA convenience sample of 54 adult female residents of OLBAC in San Mateo, Rizal, will be recruited in this analytical cross-sectional study. After enrollment, they will undergo a single spirometry procedure to determine their lung function status. The primary data to be collected from the experimental groups are FEV1, FVC and FEV1/ FVC ratio. The data will undergo descriptive and inferential analysis, and the lung function variable will be analyzed with logistic regression to account for confounding variables.
EXPECTED RESULTSThe descriptive data analysis will determine the mean values of lung function parameters (FEV1 and FVC) where long exposures may lead to an abnormal FVC compared to short or no exposure. The results in the inferential analysis may indicate a negative association between length of biomass fuel exposure and percentage predicted FVC among the sample, suggesting that more prolonged exposure to biomass fuel increases the risk of impaired lung function.
