“…In the current study, we observed a prevalence of COPD among farmers that is in the range of previous studies (Eduard et al, 2009;Stoleski et al, 2015;Jouneau et al, 2019;Fix et al, 2020). Although farming is often considered a risk factor for COPD, there are few and conflicting data regarding COPD prevalence and the magnitude of the risk in dairy farmers.…”

“…46,49,50 Swine raising was identified as a risk factor of COPD in a few studies. 51,52 Swine farmworkers are often exposed to various types of inhalable dust, eg, wood dust, litter, fecal material and a complex mixture of organic materials derived from feed. 41,53 The related report suggested that chronic exposure to these organic materials leads to increased adaptive immune mechanisms.…”

The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among agriculturists in a remote rural community in central Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2020. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using standardized questionnaires to determine demographic characteristics and risk behaviors. COPD was defined by the spirometric criterion for airflow limitation constituting a postbronchodilator fixed ratio of FEV1/FVC <0.70 following the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines 2019. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for COPD, and the magnitude of association was presented as adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: A total of 546 agriculturists were enrolled in the study. The overall prevalence of COPD was 5.5% (95% CI: 3.6-7.4). The prevalence of COPD among males was 8.0% (95% CI: 4.7-11.3), and 3.2% (95% CI: 1.1-5.2) among females. The risk factors of COPD included age ≥60 years old (AOR 2.7, 95% CI: 1.1-7.0), higher intensity of smoking (AOR 1.1, 95% CI: 1.0-1.1), swine farm worker (AOR 4.1, 95% CI: 1.7-10.3), cattle farm worker (AOR 3.3, 95% CI: 1.4-8.2) and home cooking (AOR 2.7, 95% CI: 0.8-9.7). Conclusion: Our data emphasized that COPD was one of the significant health problems among agriculturists in a rural community. Agricultural jobs such as animal farmers and behavioral factors such as smoking were associated with COPD. Effective public health interventions, especially, modifying risk behaviors, should be promoted in remote rural areas to prevent the disease and reduce its morbidity and mortality.

“…In 2019, Jouneau et al published the AIRBAg study to determine COPD prevalence and characterise the related risk factors in dairy farmers (Jouneau et al, 2019). However, they found an unexpectedly low number of COPD patients (n=16) and no significant occupational risk factors for COPD.…”
