“…Medical models have focused on identifying high-risk individuals. However, studies of the sensitivity and specificity of screening questionnaires in identifying children with elevated blood lead have been disappointing (Binns et al, 1994;Rooney et al, 1994;Schaffer et al, 1994;Dalton et al, 1996).…”

“…We evaluated the specificity for a range of 30.0% to 50.0%. [7][8][9]19,20 Table 3 lists the estimates and ranges of the costs of screening, evaluation, and treatment in 1996 dollars. The cost of the risk assessment questionnaire was based on the amount of nursing time needed to administer it.…”

“…14 Researchers indicated that having a sibling, housemate, or playmate who was followed up or treated for lead poisoning was significantly associated with an increased adjusted odds ratio for increased BPb in both urban 15 and rural 16 settings. In a pedigree study of subjects aged 6-91, there was a 50% correlation of BPb concentrations for siblings living together, and only 10% in those living apart.…”

Objectives-Risk factors for increased blood lead concentration (BPb) has been investigated. However, the eVect of sibship and Chinese herbal medicine on BPb has not been systematically studied. In this study BPb data from voluntary testing was used to determine if Chinese herbal medicine and sibship were associated with BPb. Methods-319 children aged 1-7 were tested for BPb. Meanwhile, parents were interviewed to obtain information including consumption of Chinese herbal medicine, living environment, lifestyle, and sibship of the children tested. Results-The mean (SD) BPb of 319 preschool children was 4.4 (2.4) µg/dl. The consumption of Ba-baw-san (a Chinese herbal medicine) was significantly associated with increased BPb in children (p=0.038). Further multivariate regression analysis of BPb in 50 pairs of siblings showed the factors of being brothers explained 75% of variation for BPb, and being sisters and brother-sister explained 51% and 41% of variation respectively. Conclusion-Chinese herbal medicine and children's play patterns within the family expressed in diVerent types of sibship are the main determinants of low concentrations of BPb in preschool children of Taiwan.
