Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between the childhood asthma and the potential risk factors in the living environment.
Methods One thousand nine hundred and forty-one primary and high school students were randomly stratified sampled to participate in the survey.
Results Univariate analysis indicated premature delivery, the family allergic history and living in the room newly decorated in 3 months were the risk factors of childhood asthma. Multivariate analysis revealed that among the three risk factors, room decoration P=0.001, OR=0.277; the premature delivery P<0.05, OR=1.537; and the family allergic history P<0.001, OR=0.784.
Conclusion Living in the room newly decorated in 3 months may easily induce the childhood asthma, so that the newly decorated rooms should be ventilated more than 3 month before moving in.
