We present prevalence estimates of indoor and outdoor environmental risk factors for asthma from a cross-sectional study of children 1 to 17 years of age living in Buffalo, New York. A child's primary caretaker completed a questionnaire about the household's demographics, lifestyle habits, housing, indoor and outdoor environment, and the child's activity patterns, family history of asthma, asthma symptoms and treatment, and medical care access. Significant environmental risk factors were presence of smokers in the household, humidifier or vaporizer use, chemical odors indoors, frequent truck traffic, and chemical odors outdoors. Most of these risk factors can be mitigated or controlled.
我们通过对居住在纽约州布法罗市的1至17岁儿童进行横断面研究，给出了哮喘的室内和室外环境风险因素的患病率估计值。儿童的主要照料者填写了一份问卷，内容涉及家庭人口统计学、生活方式习惯、住房、室内和室外环境、儿童的活动模式、哮喘家族史、哮喘症状及治疗情况以及医疗服务的可及性。重要的环境风险因素包括家中有吸烟者、使用加湿器或蒸发器、室内有化学气味、频繁有卡车通行以及室外有化学气味。这些风险因素大多可以得到缓解或控制。
