人们的生活环境和生活方式随着时代的发展而发生了巨大的变化。有必要重新评估与社会条件变化相关的风险因素，以预防病态建筑综合征（SBS）。本研究旨在确定SBS的发病与参与者特征，社会和居住环境以及生活方式之间的关联。在全国范围内进行了一项在线问卷调查，涉及4996名参与者。SBS的危险因素采用Logistic回归分析。SBS的主要危险因素为女性（OR = 1.20，CI = 1.01-1.42）和年轻（OR = 2.42，CI = 1.55-3.78）。其他危险因素包括过敏史和精神病史（OR = 1.75，CI = 1.34-2.29）、室内环境的特殊住房规格（OR = 0.77，CI = 0.63-0.95）、室内吸烟（OR = 1.25，CI = 1.00-1.55）等。女性、年轻人以及有过敏和精神疾病等病史的人患SBS的风险增加，这表明这些人需要注意化学品暴露。研究结果表明，通过仔细选择室内环境和生活方式来预防SBS的可能性。
kkPeople's living environments and lifestyles have drastically changed with the times. It is necessary to reassess risk factors associated with changes in social conditions to prevent sick building syndrome (SBS). This study aimed to determine the association between the onset of SBS and participant characteristics, social and residential environments, and lifestyle. An online nationwide questionnaire survey involving 4996 participants was conducted. The risk factors for SBS were examined using logistic regression analyses. The main risk factors for SBS were female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 1.20, confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.42) and young age (OR = 2.42, CI = 1.55-3.78). Other risk factors included having a medical history of allergies and mental illness (OR = 1.75, CI = 1.34-2.29), special housing specifications for the indoor environment (OR = 0.77, CI = 0.63-0.95), smoking indoors (OR = 1.25, CI = 1.00-1.55), and others. Women, young individuals, and those with a history of diseases, such as allergies and mental illness, had an increased risk of SBS, indicating that such individuals need to pay attention to chemical exposure. The study results indicate the possibility of preventing SBS by the careful selection of indoor environments and lifestyle.
