AB  - INTRODUCTION: We previously reported an increased prevalence of asthma in adults 
      who lived in temporary housing after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The 
      goal of the current study was to investigate changes in asthma prevalence and 
      mite-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) titers in temporary housing residents during 
      2014-2019. METHODS: By using the Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines, we 
      diagnosed asthma in Ishinomaki city temporary housing residents aged 15 years or 
      older. We then analyzed serum antigen-specific IgE levels to Dermatophagoides 
      farinae (Der f), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p), and Aspergillus 
      fumigatus. RESULTS: The prevalence of asthma exceeded 20% across all age-groups 
      throughout the study period. The proportion of study participants with a 
      "positive" antigen-specific IgE titer (i.e., >/=0.35 IUA/mL) was higher in 
      asthmatics than in nonasthmatics for Der f and Der p but not for Aspergillus 
      fumigatus. Among residents >/=50 years old who were diagnosed with asthma, the 
      percentage with a Der f-specific IgE titer >/=0.10 IUA/mL was higher than the 
      proportion with >/=0.35 IUA/mL. Among study participants, asthma onset occurred 
      before the earthquake, during residence in shelters or temporary housing, and 
      (starting in 2016) after moving out of temporary housing. The Der p-specific IgE 
      level was positively correlated with the duration of temporary housing (p < 0.05, 
      r = 0.41) and inversely correlated with the time elapsed since moving out of 
      temporary housing (p < 0.05, r = -0.35). CONCLUSION: Mite allergen sensitization 
      was found in both asthmatic and nonasthmatic temporary housing residents after 
      the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami; asthma developed even after subjects moved 
      out of temporary housing.
