Finding F-1686
“The study indicated that indoor musty odors were significantly associated with cognitive impairments (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.25, 1.57).”
Structure
- Factor
- Mould
- Outcome
- Cognitive dysfunction
- Setting
- home, CN
- Study design
- cross-sectional analysis of a national cohort of older adults: indoor musty odour reported by the household related to cognitive impairment, with stratified and interaction analyses (class 4)
- Effect
- OR 1.40 (1.25–1.57)
- Sample
- 11888 participants
- Caveat
- the exposure is a musty odour reported by the household, not a measured concentration, so it stands for dampness and mould rather than for a named factor; the study found no significant modification in its subgroups
