STUDI TENTANG PARTIKULAT RUMAH SEBAGAI FAKTOR RESIKO ASMA

ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to determine the risk of particulate (PM) in the house as the cause of asthma for children in Yogyakarta. The design used was controled case study with the ratio of one case with two controls. The object of the research were children up to 12 years old who considered suffering from asthma by paediatricians of Dr. Sardjito hospital both out and hospitalized patient, where as the controls werethe almost same age neighbouring children who are not suffering from it. There were 168 samples consisted of 56 case and 112 controls. Analyses used were anivariate, bivariat, multivariat analyses 9LOgistic Regression). Logistic regression was used to judge relation between the occurrence of children asthma as the dependam variable and suspected factors for asthma as well as children characteristic were independent variables. The result showed that relation between atopi and house PM indicated significant result OR=11.35(93% C.I : 3.50-36.76), and dosage-response examination of house PM content linking with children asthma occurence showed a relation between the increase dosage of PM exposure and children asthma occurance. Dosage more than 74 mg/m3 has OR=8.96 (95% C.I :3.42-13.47) greater risk comparing to dosage under 64.55 mg/m3. Key word: House Particulate Matter (PM), risk factor, children asthm
