--- This study was conducted in the city of La Oroya, capital of the Province of Yauli, Department of Junín located at 3730 meters above sea level. The study took place in the installations of the Medical Center Chulec which belongs to the company Doe Run Peru SRL. The workers of the Metallurgical Complex voluntarily participated. Objective To determine the ventilatory capacity of workers in a metallurgical company performing their work at high altitudes in the central region of Peru. According to the following spirometric indicators: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced expiratory volume ratio in the first second of the FVC (FEV1) / FVC, and peak expiratory flow the acronym (PEF). The research will approach the reference values for workers in the highlands in Peru. Methodology An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study involved 385 native workers with a residence time equal to or more than five years. The ages were between 20-60 years and the participants underwent spirometry testing to determine the respiratory function, based on the criteria of the American Thoracic Society (ATS). Results The values were the following : Forced Vital Capacity, FVC: 4.83 l / s, the forced expiratory volume at the first second was 4 .02 l / s, The FEV1 / FVC ratio was 83.45%, and the peak expiratory flow was 9.46 l Conclusion 94.6% of workers evaluated showed their FVC within normal ranges. 5.2% of the studied population are carriers of mild obstructive processes, and 0.2% are carriers of a likely restrictive process. Keywords: Respiratory function, vital capacity, workers, height, occupational health.
