We have measured immunoglobulin E levels and respiratory virus antibodies and examined their possible role as risk factors for obstructive lung disease in adults. We observed that increased total serum IgE levels were associated with reduced lung function in subjects with obstructive lung disease, but not in asymptomatic subjects. Subjects sensitised to indoor allergens (house dust mites, cats and mould) had reduced lung function and increased, non-specific, bronchial responsiveness compared with individuals who were not sensitised to indoor allergens. Similar relationships were not observed for subjects sensitised to outdoor allergens (birch and timothy). The presence of respiratory virus antibodies was vaguely associated with reduced lung function, but was not related to increased, non-specific, bronchial responsiveness. In adults in this community sensitisation to indoor allergens is a strong predictor of reduced lung function and increased, non-specific, bronchial responsiveness, which are again closely associated with obstructive lung disease.
