Abstract	BACKGROUND—A study wasundertaken to investigate the effect of gas cooking on the lungfunction of adolescents while considering serum IgE level as a possibleeffect modifier. METHOD—The crosssectional study was performed in 702 subjects aged 11-13 years fromprimary and secondary schools in Civitavecchia and Viterbo ( Latiumregion in Central Italy), categorised according to how often they werein the kitchen while the mother cooked (never, sometimes, often). Datawere collected by questionnaire and lung function was measured byspirometric tests. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness was evaluated by themethacholine test, atopic status by a skin prick test, and a bloodsample was collected to determine serum IgE levels. The results wereanalysed separately for boys and girls. Multiple regression analysiswas performed, taking functional parameters (FEV1,FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75, FEF50,FEF75) as the dependent variables and age, height, parental smoking, and father's education as independent variables. RESULTS—There was noassociation between time spent in the kitchen and lung function levelin boys, but a reduction in lung function was detected in girls whichwas statistically significant for FEF75 (sometimes-10.3%, often -11.1%). After stratifying boys and girls into fourgroups on the basis of the IgE serum level (below and above the medianvalue of IgE), the reduction in lung function was significant in girlswith a high IgE value whereas no significant deleterious effects wereevident in girls with a low IgE value or in boys with either a low orhigh IgE. The results remained substantially unchanged after excludinggirls with a response to methacholine below the concentration of4 mg/ml, asthmatic patients, and those with positive skin prick tests. CONCLUSION—Gas cookinghas a harmful effect on the lung function of girls with a high serumlevel of IgE. We do not know whether serum IgE, a marker of allergicsusceptibility, is a simple indicator that an inflammatory process isin progress or whether it is involved in the pathogenesis of injuryleading to bronchial obstruction.
