In Colombia, coal miner pneumoconiosis is considered a public health problem due
to its irreversibility, high cost on diagnosis, and lack of data related to its
prevalence in the country. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was carried out in
order to determine the prevalence of pneumoconiosis in underground coal mining
workers in two regions of Colombia. The results showed a 35.9% prevalence of
pneumoconiosis in the study group (42.3% in region 1 and 29.9% in region 2). An
association was found between a radiologic diagnosis of pneumoconiosis and a
medium risk level of exposure to carbon dust (OR: 2.901, 95% CI: 0.937, 8.982),
medium size companies (OR: 2.301, 95% CI: 1.260-4.201), length of mining work
greater than 25 years (OR: 3.222, 95% CI: 1.806-5.748), and a history of smoking
for more than one year (OR: 1.479, 95% CI: 0.938-2.334). These results establish
the need to generate an intervention strategy aimed at preventing the identified
factors, as well as a timely identification and effective treatment of
pneumoconiosis in coal miners, in which the commitment of the General Health and
Social Security System and the workers compensation system is ensured.
