Asthma prevalence due to building dampness in Europe

Scope

Europe in 2010, 2020, 2030, 2050.

Definition

Initial Prevalence data from GINA[1].

Formula calculates number of asthma cases which can be attributed to dampness in Europe in years 2010-2050 by using the following:

  1. <math>extra cases = (prevalence_total - prevalence_nondamp) population</math>
  2. <math>prevalence_total = prevalence_nondamp(%damp * OR + 1 - %damp)</math>
  3. <math>prevalence_nondamp = \frac{prevalence_0}{%damp * OR + 1 - %damp}</math>

Population data[1] included population growth scenarios so they too are included.

Distribution represents uncertainty (mainly of fraction of affected homes).

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