Objective: To estimate the population prevalence of symptomatic respiratory disease and related factors in residents of two vulnerable areas in the city of Santiago de Cali in 2012. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component that simulates the case-control methodology. A stratified sampling by conglomerates was used, with design effect 2. Univariate bivariate and multiple analyses were performed from logistic regression with analysis of complex samples. The odds ratio with their respective intervals of confidence and p-value of the Chi2 test were used to estimate the associations. To evaluate the fit of the final model, Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit testing was applied. Results: The overall population prevalence of symptomatic respiratory disease was 2.8% (CI 95% 2.2 to 3.6). Being a male (OR 1.51, CI 95%: 1.06 to 2.17), living in a house without proper ventilation (OR 1.97, CI 95%: 1.27 to 3.06) and food-insecure households with moderate hunger (OR 1.63, CI 95%: 1.15 to 2.31) were shown as a risk factors. Assurance (OR 0.41, CI 95%: 0.19 to 0.89), being a breastfed baby (OR 0.60, CI 95%: 0.37 to 0.98), being a preschooler (OR 0.46, CI 95%: 0.23 to 0.93), being a mature adult (OR 0.34, CI 95%: 0.17 to 0.68) and being elder (OR 0.45, CI 95%: 0.27 to 0.77) compared to adolescents were identified as protective factors. Conclusions: population prevalence of symptomatic respiratory disease is differential according to the vulnerability conditions of the population, which implies generating programmatical indicators consistent with this result.
