Because the mite-allergen content in homes is highly variable even in the same geographic area, we tried to determine which variables influence mite infestation. We evaluated mite-allergen content in bedding relative to housing conditions and living habits. This cross-sectional study included 108 homes. Housing conditions were assessed by an architect and living habits by a researcher specialized in social and family economics. Group I allergen level was measured on the mattress dust with monoclonal antibodies, and relative humidity (RH) was monitored in the bedroom during a 2-week period. Homes with low RH did have low mite-allergen content. In contrast, homes with intermediate RH levels had very variable mite-allergen content. Using analysis of variance and a logistic regression analysis, we were unable to identify any variable predictive of mite-allergen content. Thus, factors other than relative humidity seem to influence mite infestation. Moreover, the absence of association between mite infestation and ventilation rate might be accounted for by the gentle climate in our area with notable outdoor RH.
由于即使在同一地理区域内，家庭中的螨虫过敏原含量也存在很大差异，因此我们试图确定哪些变量会影响螨虫滋生。我们评估了床上用品中的螨虫过敏原含量与住房条件和生活习惯的关系。这项横断面研究包括108个家庭。住房条件由一名建筑师评估，生活习惯由一名专门研究社会和家庭经济学的研究人员评估。用单克隆抗体测量床垫灰尘中的第一组过敏原水平，并在两周内监测卧室的相对湿度（RH）。相对湿度低的家庭螨虫过敏原含量确实较低。相比之下，相对湿度处于中等水平的家庭，其螨虫过敏原含量差异很大。通过方差分析和逻辑回归分析，我们无法确定任何可预测螨虫过敏原含量的变量。因此，除相对湿度外的其他因素似乎也会影响螨虫滋生。此外，螨虫滋生与通风率之间缺乏关联，可能是由于我们所在地区气候温和，室外相对湿度较高所致。
