To assess the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and clinical management referred 2.1 consulte a physician 2.2 use of spirometry referred 2.3 the frequency of inhaled treatment and the difficulty in its use 2. To assess the respiratory disorders of the population 3. To assess the respiratory disorders and its characteristics 4. To assess the percentage of population without diagnosis
• Data analysis plan:
  In the descriptive analysis, qualitative variables are presented with their frequency distribution, quantitative variables are summarized with their mean and standard deviation (SD) and quantitative variables showing an asymmetric distribution are summarized with the median and interquartile range (IQR). Comparisons are made between study groups. The association between qualitative variables is evaluated with the Chi-square test χ2 or Fisher's exact test, in the case that more than 25% of those expected were less than 5. For quantitative variables, means are compared using the Student t test or the analysis of variance ANOVA (if the groups have more than 2 categories) or the Mann-Whitney U test or the Kruskall Wallis test (if the groups have more than 2 categories) in case the quantitative variables did not fit a normal distribution. For all tests a significance value of 5% is accepted. Data processing and analysis is performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics v21 statistical package
