Key clinical point: The presence of dampness and mold at home affected offspring health outcomes negatively by increasing the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD).
Major finding: AD was associated with visible mold (odds ratio [OR] 1.35; P = .001) and dampness/mold at home between the first and second follow-up (OR 1.18; P = .008) and during both follow-up periods (OR 1.38; P < .001).
Study details: Findings are from the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe study including 17,881 offspring aged ≤30 years who had undergone two follow-up investigations every 10 years. Of these, 17.3% had developed AD.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Icelandic Research Council and other sources. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
