Finding F-1020

“For high body fat percentage, our two-pollutant model with CO2 and formaldehyde shows that CO2 was a stronger predictor of high body fat percentage, with aOR of 2.21 (95% CI: 1.09, 4.47); however, the predictive power of CO2 diminished when compared to CO.”

Structure

Factor: Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Outcome: Obesity
Population: residential occupants
Setting: home
Study design: observational study in 60 households: 12-hour and 24-hour indoor carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds and particles measured against body-fat percentage, obesity and abdominal obesity of the residents, in single- and two-pollutant models adjusted for age and other covariates (class 4)
Effect: OR 2.21 (1.09–4.47)
Sample: 60 households
Caveat: an adjusted odds ratio from a cross-section of 60 households, so the direction of the relation is not settled
