This paper examines the importance of various social factors for the prevalence of "sick building syndrome" (SBS) in residential buildings. A survey has been conducted in Malmö, Sweden, resulting in 1131 randomly selected residents participating in the study (response rate 57 %). Two clusters of social factors were examined: the socio-structural position of the individual and psychosocial aspects of the housing situation. The results show that country of birth, in particular, and also education and employment status are important predictors of "domestic SBS". "Housing satisfaction" turns out to be an important psychosocial predictor of SBS, explaining, for example, why immigrants report more symptoms than natives.
本文探讨了各种社会因素对住宅建筑中“病态建筑综合症”（SBS）患病率的重要性。在瑞典马尔默进行了一项调查，1131名随机挑选的居民参与了该研究（回应率57%）。研究考察了两类社会因素：个人的社会结构地位和住房状况的心理社会方面。结果表明，出生国，尤其是教育和就业状况，是“家庭SBS”的重要预测因素。“住房满意度”被证明是SBS的一个重要心理社会预测因素，例如，它解释了为什么移民比本地人报告更多症状。
