Finding F-1503

“As shown in Table 3, the use of air conditioning for more than 8 hours/day, indoor dampness and mold were associated with high risk of developing asthma [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)1 =1.99; AOR2 =2.16], bronchitis (AOR1 =1.62, AOR2 =1.55) and allergic rhinitis (AOR1 =1.51, AOR 2 =1.55).”
