Objective : To estimate the prevalence of Sick House Syndrome (SHS) in Tokyo metropolitan area with knowledge and attitudes regarding SHS.Subjects and Methods : Telephone survey by Random Digit Dialing methods was conducted in 2002. People living in the Tokyo metropolitan area aged 20 years or over were asked about their symptoms of SHS, their knowledge and coping behavior regarding SHS.Results : The number of respondents was 299 (the response rate was 24.8%).1) 76.6% of the respondents answered they knew about SHS.2) Among eight major SHS related symptoms, 42.1% of the respondents experienced at least one symptom during the past one year before the survey.3) The most frequently cited places where the respondents experienced the worsening of symptoms were their homes, public facilities, and workplaces, and 54.8% experienced relief of symptoms when getting out.4) In 41.3%, the symptoms varied according to the season.5) We defined SHS as (1) having experienced one or more symptoms among eight major SHS related symptoms, (2) symptoms which ameliorated when moving outdoors, and (3) symptoms unrelated to seasonal change. The prevalence of SHS was 14.0%.6) Among SHS patients, 11.9% visited physician's office, and 9.5% used OTC medicine.Conclusions : Our survey results revealed that SHS was well known. The prevalence of SHS in the Tokyo metropolitan area was 14.0%. A few SHS patients used medical services suggesting that SHS was recognized as a mild QOL disease. Further studies should reveal the validity of the disease definition based on subjective symptoms, incidence, natural course and regional difference of the disease.
