| Research Abstract |
Using the health survey system through the Internet which we established, allergic symptoms were collected every day and analyzed relation with Asian sand quantity. We analyzed the relation of each symptom and Asian sand quantity by generalized estimating equations with the existence or non-existence of each symptom as dependent variable and sexuality of the object, age and the highest temperature, humidity, pollen quantity, Asian sand quantity on each investigation day as covariant. The present study revealed that frequency of allergic symptoms such as snot, cough, sneeze and itch of eyes were 25, 8, 16 and 17%, respectively. The Asian sand quantity was strongly related to the symptom such as the snot, the cough and itch of eyes. It was also proved that the pollen quantity was related to the sleeplessness among pollinosis patients.
