这项研究调查了建筑物潮湿指标，以及发霉气味，湿度和干燥（潮湿和干燥，D&D）与儿童哮喘和过敏的关系。数据来自2013年至2014年在中国天津和沧州进行的横断面研究。7366个有0-8岁儿童的家庭返回了完成的调查。我们研究了D&D的因素，在目前的居住地和居住在那里的孩子出生后立即居住。共有4.4%的儿童患有医生诊断的哮喘; 9.5%患有医生诊断的鼻炎; 39.1%患有医生诊断的湿疹。大多数的潮湿指标，气味的感知，感知干燥，与儿童的哮喘和过敏显着相关。在父母（或监护人）谁自己有过敏的报告偏见没有发现的原因之间的关联D&D和健康影响。与以前或现在接触D&D相比，持续接触D&D对儿童哮喘和过敏的风险更大。在目前或以前的家庭中，感知干燥是儿童过敏的最重要的研究风险因素。
This study investigates associations of building dampness indicators, and perceptions of moldy odor, humidity and dryness (Dampness and Dryness, D&D) with children's asthma and allergies. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional study in Tianjin and Cangzhou, China from 2013 to 2014. Completed surveys were returned by 7366 families with children 0–8 years old. We studied D&D factors both in the current residence and the residence where the children lived immediately after birth. A total of 4.4% of the children had doctor-diagnosed asthma; 9.5% had doctor-diagnosed rhinitis; and 39.1% had doctor-diagnosed eczema. Most of the dampness indicators, perceptions of odors, and perceived dryness, were significantly associated with children's asthma and allergies. A reporting bias in parents (or guardians) who themselves had allergies was not found to be the reason for the associations between D&D and health effects. Compared with either previous or current exposure to D&D, continuous exposure to D&D was a greater risk for children's asthma and allergies. Perceived dryness was the most important studied risk factor for children's allergies in either current or previous homes.
