Abstract

In a cross sectional study in Augsburg (South Germany) 1673 six year old children were investigated in 1996. The concentrations of Der p 1 and Der f 1 were determined in dust samples from mattresses of 1081 children. Information about determinants of exposure was taken from questionnaires. The data from Turkish families and from different German social groups were compared. The geometric mean of Der f 1 was lowest in Turkish families and highest in the best educated German group. The mean of Der p 1 was highest for Turkish families, and lowest for medium educated German groups. These differences were smaller but remained statistically significant after adjustment for life-style factors. These results could be relevant to explain differences in prevalence of allergic diseases and sensitisation between social groups.
