Finding F-1336

“Controlling for exposure to tobacco smoke (in Model 3) reduces the effect of biomass fuel use on asthma prevalence slightly (OR = 1.75; 95% CI, 1.53–2.01).”

Valli Effect of Indoor Air Pollution from Biomass Combustion on Prevalence of Asthma in the Elderly (2003). Environmental health perspectives. Page 4. CKB 6273

Structure

Source: Biomass fuel
Outcome: Asthma
Population: people over 60
Setting: home, IN
Study design: analysis of Indian national survey data on the prevalence of asthma among the elderly: cooking with biomass fuel against cleaner fuels, in alternative models that add tobacco smoke and demographic and socioeconomic variables (class 4)
Effect: OR 1.75 (1.53–2.01)
Caveat: fuel and asthma reported in a survey, not measured
