这篇论文描述了一项调查，该调查旨在调查伦敦(英国)潮湿的公共部门住房之间可能存在的联系。以及英国孟加拉租户的健康状况。讨论了在这一领域建立流行病学证据和准确评估潮湿和健康的问题，并考虑了住房和生活方式因素在家庭潮湿流行中的相对重要性。结果表明，报告和测量的家庭潮湿、寒冷和霉菌与报告的健康的各个方面有显著的关系。同样明显的是，住房的各个方面，特别是良好的供暖系统，而不是生活方式，决定了家庭潮湿的程度。
The paper describes a survey that was undertaken to investigate the possible associations between damp public sector housing in London (U.K.) and the health of British Bengali tenants. The problems of establishing epidemiological evidence in this field and the accurate assessment of dampness and health are addressed, and the relative importance of housing and lifestyle factors in the prevalence of damp in the home is considered. The results show that there are significant relationships between reported and measured damp, cold and mould in the home and various aspects of reported health. It is also apparent that it is aspects of housing, in particular the provision of a good heating system rather than lifestyle that determine the degree of dampness in a home.
