Residents in one of Dublin's oldest flat complexes twice as likely to have asthma and other breathing problems
The Respiratory Health Among Residents of Oliver Bond House report follows on from an earlier report on physical conditions in the complex, published in 2021 which highlighted the inadequacy of the physical buildings themselves.
Residents in one of Dublin's oldest remaining flat complexes are twice as likely to have asthma and other breathing problems, a new study has found.
An analysis of respiratory health in a Dublin Inner City General Practice, published by Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine, shows that even adjusting for whether a patient had a medical card or not, Oliver Bond House residents were "still 1.9 times as likely to have evidence for asthma in their medical records as other patients in the same practice”.
