“…In addition, the prevalence of asthma based on the ISAAC survey did not increase despite there being an increase in the prevalence of asthma in adults with a history of residence in temporary housing after the Great East Japan Earthquake. 9 The prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and atopy in the second-grade, 7 to 8-year-old children of Ishinomaki in our research was not as high as reported by the ISAAC survey in other countries [23][24][25] and Japan. 26,27 We neither measured serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) Radioallergosorbent testing (RAST) for house dust mite (HDM) nor performed skin prick test for HDM in these children.…”

Objective: We investigated the prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in children, evaluated the mite allergen levels in their bedding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and assessed changes in allergic symptoms in children and their families after allergen avoidance practices. Methods: We performed a survey for the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) comprising 1109 children, aged 7–8 years, living in Ishinomaki, Japan. We collected responses from 464 children, and in 2016, measured the level of Dermatophagoides group 1 (Der 1) in the bedding of 202 of these children. The intervention group of children attended at least one allergen avoidance seminar. The levels of Der 1 in their bedding were measured, along with changes in allergic symptoms, in 17 children in 2017 and 14 children in 2018. The nonintervention group comprised children who did not attend an allergen avoidance seminar at any time. Results: Of the 464 children who participated in the ISAAC, 50 (10.8%) reported having asthma, 179 (38.8%) allergic rhinitis, and 126 (27.3%) atopic dermatitis. The average level of Der 1 measured in the bedding of the 202 children in 2016 was 295.8 ng/m2. The levels of Der 1 in the intervention group—but not in the nonintervention group—significantly decreased in 2017 and 2018. The symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in the children of intervention group and their families decreased after allergen avoidance practices. Conclusions: Allergen avoidance practices relieved allergic symptoms in school children after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

“…Table S3 in In the America, in Brazil a 10% decrease in the rhinitis prevalence was reported between 2011 and 2018. 22 In the United States, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reported that episodes of hay fever in the past 12 months increased from 11.8% to 13.6% between 2007 and 2012. In the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the prevalence of AR decreased from 9.3% in 1997 to 7.3% in 2018.…”

Introduction Although rhinitis is among the most common diseases worldwide, rhinitis prevalence in the general adult population is unclear and definitions differ widely. Objective To summarize the literature on rhinitis prevalence in the general adult population and to assess: (1) the prevalence according to different rhinitis definitions overall and in different regions of the world, and (2) the evolution of rhinitis prevalence over time. Methods We conducted an extensive literature review of publications including rhinitis prevalence using Pubmed and Scopus databases up to October 2020. We classified the definitions into three categories: unspecified rhinitis, allergic rhinitis (AR), and nonallergic rhinitis (NAR). Results Among 5878 articles screened, 184 articles were included, presenting 156 different definitions of rhinitis. Rhinitis prevalence ranged from 1% to 63%. The overall median prevalences of unspecified rhinitis, AR and NAR were 29.4%, 18.1% and 12.0%, and they varied according to the geographical location. Rhinitis prevalence tended to increase over time. Conclusions This review highlights the great heterogeneity of the definitions. The majority of studies had focused on AR, while only a few epidemiological data exist on NAR. We found geographical variability in rhinitis prevalence. Most of studies reported an increase of rhinitis prevalence over the last decades.

“…Moreover, asthma and allergic rhinitis are common allergic respiratory diseases and there is a strong correlation between the diseases. Asthma is a chronic lower respiratory disease with symptoms such as hypersensitivity of the airway, phlegmatic cough, and chest compressions, while allergic rhinitis is an upper respiratory disease with symptoms such as itching, runny nose, and sneezing [ 6 ]. In particular, asthma and allergic rhinitis are known to the same pathological phenomenon because two different diseases have the very similar inflammatory response and inflammation form, so they commonly have occurred as comorbidities [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to examine the impacts of allergic respiratory diseases on physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors (SB), and body mass index (BMI) by matching age and gender with those adolescents without allergic respiratory diseases. This present study analyzed data from the 2019 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS). Among 57,303 Korean adolescents who responded to the survey, the study divided adolescents into three different groups (i.e., general, asthma, and allergic rhinitis group). Asthma and allergic rhinitis groups included adolescents who checked on asthma- or allergic rhinitis-related questions as ‘yes’ (n = 259, n = 259), but the general group responded to any diseases-related question as ‘no’ (n = 259). The age and gender of participants among the three groups were matched. The results showed weight and BMI were significantly higher in asthma and allergic rhinitis groups compared to the general group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). Furthermore, age, asthma, and allergic rhinitis were observed to be strong risk factors for predicting obesity in adolescents (BMI, >25.0 kg/m2). In addition, this study found allergic respiratory diseases strong impacts on BMI levels because adolescents with ongoing asthma, or allergic rhinitis symptoms were more likely to have the inevitability of further weight gain compared to the general adolescents. Therefore, not only national interest in adolescents with allergic respiratory disease is essential, but PA should be encouraged to prevent and alleviate these diseases due to obesity.
