| Research Abstract |
4,630 students from 21 high schools in Gunma Prefecture participated in a written questionnaire (80.2% valid responses). 415 respondents (8.9%) met all three of the conditions for the Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory (QEESI) screening for multiple chemical sensitivity: a Chemical Intolerance Score of>=40, a Symptom Severity Score of >=20 and a Life Impact Score of >=10. These respondents were designated as the high-risk group, with the others designated as the control group. Upon examining factors relating to multiple chemical sensitivity with these two groups, it was determined that the occurrence of multiple chemical sensitivity is linked to females, persons with atopic dermatitis, persons with metal allergies, persons whose hands and feet are sensitive to cold, persons who tire easily, persons who have lived in a newly constructed building, persons who are sensitive to odors and persons who notice that they often feel stressed.
