Objective: The present study aimed to determine the possible incidence of environmental awareness on the knowledge of respiratory diseases in medical students. Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out with the participation of 389 medical students enrolled in the first semester of 2023 at the Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego, belonging to different study cycles. A questionnaire was applied to assess both environmental awareness and knowledge about respiratory diseases. Results: The prevalence of a good level of environmental awareness was 23.65%, while the good level of knowledge on respiratory diseases reached 36.25%. Significant associations were found in the groups with good and poor level of knowledge of respiratory diseases with variables such as age (22.15 ± 2.83 vs 21.39 ± 3.44; p = 0.026), area of clinical studies (64.54% vs 40.32%; p = 0.001) and environmental awareness score (48.28 ± 4.09 vs 46.69 ± 5.65; p = 0.001). The proportion of students with a good level of environmental awareness was higher among those with a good level of respiratory disease knowledge compared to those with a poor level (30.50% vs 19.76%; p = 0.017). In addition, linear regression analysis revealed a clear positive trend between environmental awareness score and respiratory disease knowledge score (linear R2 = 0.038). Conclusions: The results suggest that medical students with higher environmental awareness also possess higher respiratory disease knowledge. This highlights the importance of fostering environmental awareness among medical students to improve their understanding and management of these conditions
