In Westelijke Mijnstreek (WM), Midden-Limburg (ML), both The Netherlands, and Kreis Heinsberg (HS), Germany, the relationship between quality of the indoor environment and respiratory symptoms in children was studied, finally resulting in proposals for prevention of respiratory symptoms in the three regions. This paper presents the results of the first part of the study, investigating prevalences of respiratory complaints.
A brief questionnaire was used to document prevalences of respiratory complaints, physicians diagnoses and treatment in about 7,000 children 5-6 resp. 7-8 years of age from HS, ML and WM, in 1995 and 1997. Prevalences of respiratory symptoms differed slightly between the regions, but there were differences in physician-diagnosed asthma and bronchitis and treatment of the children.
The brief questionnaire is a useful instrument to get an overview on respiratory symptoms. Since 1995, it is used by several German Municipal Health Services for Public Health Reports.
在荷兰的西矿区(WM)、中林堡(ML)以及德国的海因斯贝格县(HS),研究了室内环境质量与儿童呼吸道症状之间的关系,最终形成了这三个地区预防呼吸道症状的建议。本文呈现了该研究第一部分的结果,调查了呼吸道疾病的患病率。
1995年和1997年,使用一份简短问卷记录了来自HS、ML和WM地区约7000名5至6岁及7至8岁儿童的呼吸道疾病患病率、医生诊断和治疗情况。各地区呼吸道症状的患病率略有差异,但在医生诊断的哮喘和支气管炎以及儿童治疗方面存在差异。
这份简短问卷是了解呼吸道症状概况的有用工具。自1995年以来,德国几个市政卫生服务部门将其用于公共卫生报告。
