dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study evaluated dog and cat allergies and their association with allergen avoidance measures in Korean adults. Methods: The study population consisted of 537 adults who currently kept dogs or cats and participated in a pet exhibition in Korea. The subjects were asked to complete questionnaires regarding pet ownership, allergen avoidance, and allergy symptoms, and underwent skin prick tests. They were considered to have a dog or cat allergy if they suffered from one or more of allergy symptoms during contact with their pets. Results: In total, 103 of 407 dog owners 125.3%) and 45 of 130 cat owners (34.6%) had a dog or cat allergy, respectively. Dog owners kept 1.3 +/- 1.5 dogs; this number did not differ according to the presence of dog allergy. Dog owners with a dog allergy had owned their dogs longer than those without (88.0 +/- 72.0 vs 67.5 +/- 72.7 months, P<0.05). Cat owners kept 2.1 +/- 3.6 cats; this number did not differ according to the presence of cat allergy, nor did the duration of cat ownership. Cat owners with a cat allergy had facial contact and slept with their cats less frequently (8.6 +/- 11.9 vs 18.3 +/- 27.0 times/day, P<0.01; 71.1% vs 81.2%, P<0.05); however, they had their cats shaved and beds cleaned less frequently than those without (1.8 +/- 3.3 vs 3.2 +/- 4.4 times/year, P<0.05; 1.5 +/- 1.5 vs 3.9 +/- 6.0 times/month, P<0.01). Conclusions: Cat owners with a cat allergy tried to minimize contact with their cats, but efforts to avoid indoor cat allergens were lower than those without. In comparison, dog owners with a dog allergy had kept their dogs for longer time than those without; however, current contact with their dogs and allergen avoidance measures did not differ between the 2 groups. | - |
