Resumen
Se ha realizado un estudio comparativo entre 110 trabajadores del amianto y un grupo control de 82 personas. La restricción de los volúmenes pulmonares se observa con mucha mayor frecuencia entre los trabajadores del amianto. Las alteraciones radiológicas son también más frecuentes en el grupo en contacto con amianto. Los resultados obtenidos son comparables a los descritos en la literatura. Uno de cada cuatro trabajadores en contacto con el amianto más de 20 años, presenta una asbestosis pulmonar.
Summary
The authors have carried out a comparative study using 110 asbestos workers and a control group of 82 persons. The restriction of pulmonary volumes was observed with much greater frequency among the asbestos workers. The radiological alterations are also more frequent for the group in contact with asbestos. The results obtained are comparable to those described in literature. One of every four workers in contact with asbestos for more than 20 years presents a pulmonary asbestosis.
