Finding F-1712

“The PRs were significantly elevated for children with wheeze or asthma if a traditional stove was used (PR = 2.08, p = 0.014) or if the cooking area was not partitioned from the rest of the home (PR = 2.46, p = 0.012).”

Structure

Source: Cookstoves
Outcome: Wheeze
Setting: kitchen
Study design: study of households with young children: the cooking arrangement and the stove type related to respiratory conditions in the children, with indoor particle concentrations measured alongside (class 4)
Effect: other 2.46
Caveat: a prevalence ratio; the same sentence puts the use of a traditional stove at 2.08 (p = 0.014), and the outcome is wheeze or asthma together
