Abstract

This study aimed to examine changes in pulmonary function variables on the physiological and occupational indicators of shoe manufacturing workers in Busan, South Korea. The general characteristics of the subjects, such as gender, age, height, weight, smoking status, years of smoking, drinking status, and family medical history were surveyed using a questionnaire. Physiological indicators associated with pulmonary function were also examined, including medications, cough status and type, sputum status, nasal stuffiness, snoring, eye irritation, etc. Subjects' ventilatory defect types were categorized based on the results of pulmonary function tests, and changes in pulmonary function depending on physiological and occupational variables were analyzed. Regression analysis was conducted on the variables that were statistically significant, and odds ratios were calculated.
