Abstract:
To investigate whether dampness in the dormitory is a cause of prevalence of respiratory symptoms,this study collects information on the health of students and dormitory environment by questionnaire,and analyzes the data by using SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science).The analysis shows that 57.9% of the students have reported signs of dampness in the dormitory,43% of the students have reported respiratory symptoms in the past 12 months,there is a significant(P<0.05)correlation between the indoor dampness and respiratory symptoms,and indoor dampness is a risk factor for prevalence of respiratory symptoms(95% CI OR 2.362).In addition,this survey finds that orientation is a risk factor for students prevalence of respiratory symptoms,so for the prevalence of indoor dampness.
