皮肤病在拉丁裔移民农场工人中很常见。虽然许多皮肤病与职业暴露有关，但恶劣的住房条件也可能导致移徙农场工人的皮肤病。评估拉丁裔移民农场工人住房条件与皮肤状况之间的关系。采用访谈问卷、家庭检查和环境抽样的横断面研究设计来记录农场工人营地/家庭的住房质量，以及拉丁裔移民农场工人自我报告的皮肤状况的流行程度。对居住在226个营地中的186个营地的371名农场工人进行了访谈（营地回复率为82.3%）。自我报告的瘙痒（31%）、皮疹（25%）、脱屑（12%）、水泡（11%）和指甲内生（10%）在参与者中很常见。居住在无空调环境中的农工更容易出现瘙痒（p<0.05）。皮疹与报告的低湿度住所有关（p<0.05）。居住在室内温度在热不适范围内的农场工人更容易报告结垢（p<0.05）。在流动农场工人中，没有发现室内过敏原和自我报告的皮肤疾病有统计学意义的关联。皮肤病在北卡罗莱纳州的移民农场工人中很常见。住房条件的质量，特别是炎热、干燥的室内热环境，与瘙痒、皮疹和结垢有显著的联系。住房特征对瘙痒和水疱的影响在新农民工中最大。需要进一步的研究来描述可能导致或加剧农场工人皮肤病的其他住房因素。
Skin conditions are common among Latino migrant farmworkers. Although many skin conditions are related to occupational exposures, poor housing conditions may also contribute to skin ailments in migrant farmworkers. To evaluate the association between housing conditions and skin conditions among Latino migrant farmworkers. A cross-sectional study design using interview questionnaires, home inspections, and environmental sampling was implemented to document housing quality of farmworker camps/homes, and the prevalence of self-reported skin conditions in Latino migrant farmworkers. Interviews were completed with 371 farmworkers residing in 186 of the 226 camps (camp response rate 82.3%). Self-reported pruritus (31%), rash (25%), scaling (12%), blisters (11%), and ingrown nails (10%) were commonly among the participants. Pruritus was more likely to be reported by farmworkers living in dwellings without air conditioning (p<0.05). Rash was associated with dwellings reported to have a low humidity (p<0.05). Scaling was more likely to be reported by farmworkers living in dwellings with indoor temperatures in the thermal discomfort range (p<0.05). No statistically significant associations were detected for indoor allergens and self-reported skin ailments among migrant farmworkers. Skin conditions are common among migrant farmworkers in North Carolina. The quality of housing conditions, particularly hot, dry indoor thermal environment, demonstrated significant associations with pruritus, rash, and scaling. The impact of housing characteristics on pruritus and blisters was greatest in new migrant farmworkers. Further research is needed to delineate additional housing factors that could cause or exacerbate skin diseases in farmworkers.
