Asthma and COPD among workers at Navanakorn Industrial Zone in Thailand
Official title: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma in Workers at Navanakorn Industrial Zone, Thailand
Run by Thammasat University · NCT07383896 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test how common asthma and COPD are among adult workers at the Navanakorn Industrial Zone by asking about breathing symptoms and doing lung function (spirometry) tests.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are Thai adults aged 18 or older who work in the Navanakorn Industrial Zone and can complete a respiratory questionnaire and perform spirometry.
✕Probably not a fit
People under 18, those who do not work at the industrial zone, or those unable to perform spirometry are unlikely to gain direct benefit from participating.

What this trial studies
This is a cross-sectional study measuring the prevalence of asthma and COPD in adult workers at the Navanakorn Industrial Zone. Participants aged 18 years or older complete a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and occupational exposures and undergo pulmonary function testing (spirometry). Results will estimate how many workers have asthma or COPD and examine relationships with job types and symptom patterns. The study is conducted through the Faculty of Medicine at Thammasat University in Pathum Thani, Thailand.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could identify affected workers and support workplace screening, prevention measures, and improved access to respiratory care.
How similar studies have gone: Similar cross-sectional surveys using questionnaires and spirometry have been used worldwide to measure occupational respiratory disease prevalence and have generally provided useful local data.
