Introduction: People Deprived of Liberty (PDL) belong to a vulnerable population with higher burden of disease than general population, including respiratory diseases such as asthma and/or COPD. This study evaluated which sociodemographic and clinical factors are associated with self-reported asthma/COPD diagnosed in Penitentiary Establishments (PE). Methods: Cross-sectional study that included PDLs ≥18 years old from 66 different PEs in Peru that participated in the Nationwide Penitentiary Census 2016. The outcome variable was self-reported asthma/COPD diagnosed by a health professional after entering a PE. Descriptive, bivariate analyzes were carried out; and crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were obtained by multilevel Poisson regression, placing PE as first level. Results: 76180 PDLs were evaluated with a median age of 34 years old, and 94.2% were men. The prevalence of Asthma/COPD was 2.27%. Factors associated with higher prevalence were age (aPR 1.03 for each year; 95% CI 1.03-1.04), female sex (aPR 1.40; 95% CI 1.18-1.67), daily smoking compared to not smoking (aPR 1.22; 95% CI 1.02-1.47) , having HIV/AIDS (aPR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06-2.27), and having past/current Tuberculosis (aPR 4.27; 95% CI 3.48-5.22). Having high school was associated with lower probability of Asthma/COPD (aPR 0.80; 95% CI 0.71-0.90) as well as higher education (aPR 0.75; 95% CI 0.62-0.91), compared to those who had no education. Conclusions: Being older, being female, smoking daily, having HIV/AIDS, and having or having had tuberculosis were associated with a greater probability of developing asthma and/or COPD diagnosed by health personnel after entering the penitentiary; while having a higher educational level was associated with a lower probability. This could serve to identify populations at risk when they enter a PE.
