Formula

Formula calculates number of asthma cases which can be attributed to dampness in Europe in years 2010-2050 by using the following:

  1. Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): extra cases = (prevalencetotal - prevalencenondamp) * population
  2. Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): prevalencetotal = prevalencenondamp * (%damp * OR + 1 - %damp)
  3. Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): prevalence_0 = %damp * OR * prevalencenondamp + (1 - %damp) * prevalencenondamp
Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): prevalencenondamp = \frac{prevalence_0}{%damp * OR + 1 - %damp}
  • Prevalences for nondamp and damp homes are assumed constant, for a given iteration in a given country.
