Abstract
Objective
Risk factors in relation to allergic rhinitis (AR) remain unclear despite considerable interest. This study aimed to analysis the relationship between home environment and diseases in early life and AR.
Methods
In a case-control survey, 242 AR patients and 258 healthy persons responded to questionnaires designed to capture pre-pregnancy/pregnancy diseases, maternal medication usage, diseases in early life of participants, family allergic history and home environmental factors. Forty risk factors potentially connected with AR were investigated and analyzed with chi-square test and logistic regression.
Results
There was no correlation between mother's disorders such as periodontitis, chronic rhinitis, diabetes etc. and AR (p>0.05). A logistic regression analysis showed that neonatal jaundice (p<0.001), respiratory system infection (p<0.001), diarrhea (p<0.01), eczema (p<0.01) in the early life and home environmental factors such as house decoration (p<0.01), mold environment (p<0.001), keeping flowers and plants (p<0.001), passive smoking (p<0.01) were associated with AR.
Conclusion;Diseases in early life and home environment are closely associated with AR.
