Özet
Objective This study was conducted to assess respiratory functions and biomass exposure in kebab restaurant workers. Material and Methods The sample of the descriptive study consists of 111 people working in kebab restaurants. Pre-bronchodilator pulmonary function test (PFT) was performed on the participants, and FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF and FEV1/FVC LLN values were recorded, COPD assessment test (CAT) and modified medical research council (mMRC) dyspnea scale were applied. Number, mean, percentage, Spearman correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Results All individuals had normal FEV1/FVC (above 80%), however 47.7% of the subjects showed LLN (Lower limit of normal) of FEV1/FVC below normal. According to regression analysis it was found that ≥40 age and period spent on chimney corner(hour/ a day)of individuals affected the LLN of FEV1/FVC (respectively;p=0,000,p=0,010). Factors influencing of CAT were ≥40 age and smoking pack- year (respectively; p=0,012, p=0,017). The CAT score of those using wood as a fuel type was higher than those using coal and sawdust (p=0,001). Conclusion This study supports the fact that FEV1/FVC fixed ratio remains insufficient in early age risk population in the diagnosis of obstructive lung disease.These results show that the use of biomass and smoking affects lung function. This study also showed that the CAT score is important in identifying risky groups with impaired lung function.
