Factors Associated with Impaired Lung Vital Capacity in Cutting and Sewing Unit Workers of PT. Daiwabo Garment Indonesia

Occupational diseases (ODs) are one of the leading causes of workplace deaths, second only to occupational accidents. According to a 2023 report by the International Labour Organization (ILO), approximately 2.6 million work-related deaths were caused by occupational diseases. At PT. Daiwabo Garment Indonesia, the predominant occupational disease identified is impaired lung vital capacity, affecting 65% of the respondents. This condition is often accompanied by common symptoms experienced by workers, such as coughing and shortness of breath. The aim of this study is to identify the factors associated with impaired lung vital capacity among workers in the cutting and sewing units at PT. Daiwabo Garment Indonesia. This research is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional method, involving a total of 40 respondents. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression revealed that length of employment (p: 0,011), compliance with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (p: 0,017), and age (p: 0,42) are significantly associated with impaired lung vital capacity among workers in the cutting and sewing units at PT. Daiwabo Garment Indonesia.
