Definition

Data

Description of the data used for obtaining the value of the variable
(e.g. measurement data; mathematical method and its parameters). 

Please include references (preferably using the <ref> </ref> tags)
and links to original data, as appropriate.

Dependencies

• heande:Moisture damage
• Population of Europe
• Prevelance of Clinical Asthma
• ERF of indoor dampness on respiratory health effects

Unit

#

Formula

1. <math>extra cases = \left ( \frac{OR - 1}{\frac{100}{%damp}-1} \right ) d</math>
2. <math>d = \frac{cases}{\frac{OR}{\frac{100}{%damp}-1}+1}</math>

• ERF approximated as that for current asthma (1.56).
