Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and is expected to become the 3rd leading cause of death globally by 2020. The main risk factor is tobacco. Tobacco poisoning is found in 80 to 90% of patients with COPD. However, non-smoking COPD is also described, with increasing prevalence figures, particularly related to occupational exposure, especially among farmers.

Detailed description

A prospective screening study based on questionnaires and electronic mini-spirometry (Néo-6®) that includes a representative sample of dairy farmers from the departments of Morbihan and Île-et-Vilaine in Brittany. The dairy farmers had an occupational medicine appointment and, if they demonstrated at least one marker of possible bronchial obstruction (chronic cough, chronic bronchitis, dyspnoea, wheezing, spirometry), they were referred to a pulmonologist.
