METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 817 adults (Aged 18≥ year) was conducted in cities of South-Punjab from October to December 2024. Structured questionnaire, aligned with the STROBE checklist, collected self-reported data on health outcomes and awareness. Multinomial logistic regression and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were performed using SPSS-26 and R-Studio 4.3.2.
RESULTS: From 817 participants, 57.8% were male, 65.7% urban, with 47.1% reporting eye irritation (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 0.692.56, p = 0.38) Respiratory conditions included COPD (OR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.11-0.41, p < 0.001), asthma (OR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.13-0.38, p < 0.001), ARI (OR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.10-0.31, p < 0.001), and IHD (OR = 11.13, 95% CI: 6.81-46.35, p < 0.001). Urban participants showed higher anxiety due to smog (OR = 6.20, 95% CI: 2.56- 15.04, p < 0.001). Only 15.9% were aware of public health campaigns, and 62.7% rated government efforts poorly (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.40-5.17, p = 0.003).
