ABSTRACT

To investigate the potential associations between household renovation and allergic diseases among preschool children in Wuhan, we conducted a large cross-sectional questionnaire survey among 9455 preschool children aged 3–6 years in Wuhan during November to December 2019. Data on demographics, health status, and home decoration conditions were analysed based on a questionnaire. Compared with tiles/stone/cement floor covering, the use of composite floor significantly increased the risk of diagnosed rhinitis and eczema among children (rhinitis: AOR, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.06–1.73; eczema: AOR, 95% CI: 1.47, 1.17–1.85). Household renovation had significant associations with diagnosed eczema (within 1 year before pregnancy: AOR, 95% CI: 1.34, 1.20–1.50; during pregnancy: AOR, 95% CI: 1.25, 1.08–1.44). This study suggests that use of artificial synthetic materials in home renovation during early childhood and pregnancy may be potential risk factors for childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema.

摘要

为了调查武汉市学龄前儿童家庭装修与过敏性疾病之间的潜在关联，我们在 2019 年 11 月至 2019 年 12 月期间对武汉市 9455 名 3-6 岁学龄前儿童进行了大规模横断面问卷调查。并根据问卷对家居装修情况进行分析。与瓷砖/石材/水泥地板相比，使用复合地板显着增加儿童患鼻炎和湿疹的风险（鼻炎：AOR，95% CI：1.36，1.06-1.73；湿疹：AOR，95% CI：1.47 , 1.17–1.85)。家庭装修与诊断出的湿疹有显着相关性（怀孕前 1 年内：AOR，95% CI：1.34，1.20-1.50；怀孕期间：AOR，95% CI：1.25，1.08-1.44）。
