During June 2019, we conducted a cross-sectional study among 4534 preschoolers 3-7 years old in Chongqing, China. Here, we investigated associations of home dampness exposures with childhood allergies and airway diseases among the selected 2563 preschoolers who never changed residence. Compared to children without dampness exposures, children exposed to any of five damp indicators (water damage, condensation on windowpane, moldy odor, visible mold spots, visible damp stains) in any areas (living room, bedroom, and bathroom) during any periods (one year before pregnancy, during pregnancy, first year of lifetime, in the past year before the survey) had significantly higher prevalences of asthma, allergic rhinitis, pneumonia, eczema, wheeze, and rhinitis. In the two-level (district-child) logistic regression analyses, five damp indicators in the different areas during different periods were significantly associated with the increased odds of the studied diseases in most cases. The cumulative scores of damp indicators, scores of areas with damp indicators, and scores of periods with dampness exposures had number-response relationships with the studied diseases, particularly for asthma, wheeze, allergic rhinitis in lifetime-ever, and current wheeze. These associations and number-response relationships were more notable for visible mold spots and visible damp stains in living room and bedroom than other damp indicators, and for during pregnancy and first year of lifetime than for one year before pregnancy and in the past year before the survey. Our results provide strong evidences for the impacts of indoor dampness exposures on pediatric asthma and wheeze and seemingly suggest their potential causal relationships.
