A Cross-Sectional Study of Pulmonary Function Tests in Grain Workers in Wardha District
Agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations. The Cross-Sectional study was conducted to determine the Pulmonary function parameters of the study subjects and to co-relate the Pulmonary function parameters with their occupation. Pulmonary Functions (FVC, FEV1 & FEV1/FVC ratio) was tested with computerized RMS Medspiror in sitting position of 100 grain workers and 100 sedentary workers. The sedentary people were having higher mean of observed FVC, FEV1 & FEV1% of 86.98%, 84.85% & 98.76% as compared to grain workers with 79.52%, 77.59% & 91.82% respectively. By Least Significant Difference (LSD) Post Hoc Range test, it was seen that there was significant difference among the mean of the predicted value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1 % of Grain workers with sedentary. Paucity of data concerning health and safety of agricultural workers provides strong rationale for rural health professionals to initiate research and educational programs focusing on health promotion/safety needs of agricultural workers.
