Background: The effects of home dampness and mold exposure
on adult asthma are not clear.
Objective:We aimed to investigate the associations between
housing characteristics related to dampness, mold exposure,
and house dust mite levels and adult asthma in 38 study centers
from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
Methods: Data about the present home, heating and ventilation
systems, double glazing, floor covers, recent water damage,
and mold exposure were obtained by means of an interviewer-
led questionnaire. The associations between these
factors and asthma, as defined on the basis of symptoms in the
last year, and of bronchial responsiveness, as determined with
methacholine challenge, were evaluated. Odds ratios (ORs)
were obtained by using random-effects meta-analyses adjusted
within study centers for sex, age group, and smoking status.
Results: Fitted carpets and rugs in the bedroom were related
to fewer asthma symptoms and bronchial responsiveness (OR
range, 0.69-0.91). This effect was consistent across centers and
more pronounced among house dust mite–sensitized individuals.
Reported mold exposure in the last year was associated
with asthma symptoms and bronchial responsiveness (OR
range, 1.14-1.44). This effect was homogeneous among centers
and stronger in subjects sensitized to Cladosporium species. In
centers with a higher prevalence of asthma, the prevalence of
reported indoor mold exposure was also high. This association
was observed for reported mold exposure by asthmatic subjects
(Spearman rs = 0.46), as well as reported mold exposure
by nonasthmatic subjects (rs = 0.54). Reported mold exposure
was highest in older houses with recent water damage.
Conclusion:We conclude that indoor mold growth has an
adverse effect on adult asthma

simulazione ASN
Il report seguente simula gli indicatori relativi alla produzione scientifica in relazione alle soglie ASN 2023-2025 del proprio SC/SSD. Si ricorda che il superamento dei valori soglia (almeno 2 su 3) è requisito necessario ma non sufficiente al conseguimento dell'abilitazione.
La simulazione si basa sui dati IRIS e presenta gli indicatori calcolati alla data indicata sul report. Si ricorda che in sede di domanda ASN presso il MIUR gli indicatori saranno invece calcolati a partire dal 1° gennaio rispettivamente del quinto/decimo/quindicesimo anno precedente la scadenza del quadrimestre di presentazione della domanda (art 2 del DM 598/2018).
In questa simulazione pertanto il valore degli indicatori potrà differire da quello conteggiato all’atto della domanda ASN effettuata presso il MIUR a seguito di:
Correzioni imputabili a eventuali periodi di congedo obbligatorio, che in sede di domanda ASN danno diritto a incrementi percentuali dei valori.
Presenza di eventuali errori di catalogazione e/o dati mancanti in IRIS
Variabilità nel tempo dei valori citazionali (per i settori bibliometrici)
Variabilità della finestra temporale considerata in funzione della sessione di domanda ASN a cui si partecipa.
La presente simulazione è stata realizzata sulla base delle regole riportate nel DM 598/2018 e dell'allegata Tabella A e delle specifiche definite all'interno del Focus Group Cineca relativo al modulo IRIS ER. Il Cineca non si assume alcuna responsabilità in merito all'uso che il diretto interessato o terzi faranno della simulazione.
