Altogether 800 individuals were invited of whom 570 participated (77%). All participants answered questionnaire and 540 individuals were skin prick tested by 12 allergens. 20.5% had positive skin tests, defined as at least one allergen positive by a weal reaction of 5=3 mm, 20.1% male and 20.9% female. The highest prevalence of allergy was in the agegroup 20-24 years. Results of single allergens: timothy grass 8.5%, cat 7.6%, dog 6.3%, D. pteronyssinus 6.1%, Lepidoglyphus destructor 3.2%, birch 3.0% and Cladosporium 1.1%. Other allergens reacted positive in less than 1% each; altogether 11.2% were positive to one or more animals and 10.6% to timothy and/or birch. RAST tests were done by five allergens.
