Information on hay fever, eczema, urticaria, respiratory symptoms, smoking habits and occupational dust or gas exposure was obtained by a self-administered questionnaire from a random sample of 4992 subjects of the general population aged 15-70 years of the Hordaland county, Norway. The response rate was 90% of the sample. The lifetime prevalences of hay fever, eczema and urticaria were 10%, 25% and 9% of the respondents, respectively. Eczema and urticaria were more often reported by women than by men. The lifetime prevalence of hay fever decreased substantially by age in both sexes. A history of hay fever was inversely related to cigarette smoking. The lifetime prevalences of eczema and urticaria were associated with occupational dust or gas exposure after adjusting for sex, age, smoking habits and area of residence. Adjusted odds ratios of respiratory symptoms in subjects with hay fever were almost 2.0 compared with those without.
通过一份自填式问卷，从挪威霍达兰郡随机抽取的4992名年龄在15至70岁的普通人群样本中，获取了有关花粉热、湿疹、荨麻疹、呼吸道症状、吸烟习惯以及职业性接触粉尘或气体的信息。样本的回复率为90%。在受访者中，花粉热、湿疹和荨麻疹的终生患病率分别为10%、25%和9%。女性比男性更常报告湿疹和荨麻疹。花粉热的终生患病率在两性中均随年龄大幅下降。花粉热病史与吸烟呈负相关。在调整了性别、年龄、吸烟习惯和居住地区后，湿疹和荨麻疹的终生患病率与职业性接触粉尘或气体有关。与没有花粉热的受试者相比，患有花粉热的受试者出现呼吸道症状的调整后比值比接近2.0。
