摘要

背景环境过敏/不耐受被认为与过敏性疾病密切相关。为了了解这些情况，我们使用通用问卷对多重化学物质敏感症（MCS）患者、自我报告的电磁过敏症（EHS）受试者、支气管哮喘（BA）患者和普通人群的环境不耐受性和症状进行了比较。受试者被分为四组：111 名医生诊断为 MCS 的患者、119 名自我报告为 EHS 的受试者、98 名医生诊断为 BA 的患者和 619 名普通人群对照组。研究使用了 "快速环境暴露与敏感性量表 "和 EHS 问卷。结果MCS组和EHS组对多种环境因素的不耐受性、生活影响和多种症状的得分明显高于BA组和对照组。虽然 MCS 组和 EHS 组的大部分评分差异不大，但 EHS 组的电磁过敏反应明显高于 MCS 组。此外，BA 组在对化学物质和其他化合物的不耐受性、对生活的影响以及若干症状方面的得分也明显高于对照组。

Comparison of environmental intolerances and symptoms between patients with multiple chemical sensitivity, subjects with self-reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity, patients with bronchial asthma, and the general population

Background

Environmental hypersensitivity/intolerance is considered closely related to allergic diseases. To understand these conditions, the environmental intolerances and symptoms of patients with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), subjects with self-reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), patients with bronchial asthma (BA), and the general population were compared using universal questionnaires.

Methods

A survey was conducted from 2012 to 2015. The subjects were categorized in four groups: 111 patients with physician-diagnosed MCS, 119 subjects with self-reported EHS, patients with 98 physician-diagnosed BA, and 619 controls from general population. The Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory and EHS questionnaire were used. The differences between the questionnaire scores among the four groups were tested using logistic regression analyses adjusted for age and gender as covariates.

Results

The MCS and EHS groups had significantly high scores of intolerances to multiple environmental factors, life impact, and multiple symptoms than the BA and control groups. Although the differences between most of these scores of the MCS and EHS groups were not significant, the electromagnetic hypersensitivity reaction was significantly higher in the EHS group than in the MCS group. In addition, the scores for intolerances to chemicals and other compounds, life impact, and several symptoms of the BA group were significantly higher than those of the control group.

Conclusions

This study clarified the similarities and differences of the environmental intolerances and symptoms between the four groups.

期刊介绍： ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation. ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation. ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation. Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues. Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
