- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic pulmonary disorder characterized by a decrease in air flow to expiration due to blockage of the airway which cannot return fully and usually worsens over time. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of COPD risk factors and to determine the differences in COPD risk factors based on gender, age, smoking status and environmental conditions in Universitas Airlangga’s staffs. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study using a simple random sampling. Variables in this study include gender, smoking status, environmental conditions, frequency shortness of breath, coughing with phlegm, disturbed activity, number of cigarettes consumed and age. The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Population Screener (COPDPS) questionnaire was used to determine the risk level of the respondents. The score is calculated by adding each answer to the question items. Score of 0-4 indicates a low COPD risk score and a score of 5-10 indicates a high COPD risk score. About 236 respondents participated in this study. The results show that 97.0% (n=229) had low risk and 3,0% (n=7) had high risk of COPD. The risk level of COPD shows significant differences in gender (p = 0,000), smoking status (p = 0,000), group of age (p = 0,000), and environment conditions (p = 0,009).
