Formula

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

<math>extra cases = (prevalence_total - prevalence_nondamp) population</math>
<math>prevalence_total = prevalence_nondamp(%damp * OR + 1 - %damp)</math>
<math>prevalence_0 = %damp * OR * prevalence_nondamp + (1 - %damp) * prevalence_nondamp</math>

<math>prevalence_nondamp = \frac{prevalence_0}{%damp * OR + 1 - %damp}</math>

Prevalences for nondamp and damp homes are assumed constant, for a given iteration in a given country.
