“…Three studies analyzed sex differences in the prevalence of rhinitis in 2 different time periods: New Zealand [28] (1993 and 2003), [35] (1995 and 2002), and Brazil [36] (2007 and 2010). They found a female predominance, which was similar in both study periods.…”

Background: A sex-related switch in the prevalence of asthma from childhood (male predominance) to adulthood (female predominance) has been described, but for allergic rhinitis this remains unclear. We aimed to examine sex- and age-group-specific differences in allergic rhinitis prevalence by systematically evaluating studies from across the globe. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase for population-based cross-sectional studies was performed regardless of the language of publication. The search was restricted to the present millennium (2000 to June 2014). Study quality was defined by the sampling method, response rate, sample size, and data collection method. To assess sex differences in the prevalence of self- or parent-reported symptoms of rhinitis, calculated pooled estimates of the male-female ratio (MFR) were obtained using random-effects model meta-analyses due to heterogeneity. A meta-regression analysis was also performed. Results: Out of 6,539 publications identified, 67 cross-sectional population-based studies (291,726 males and 301,781 females) were included in our meta-analysis. In children (<11 years of age) significantly more boys than girls had rhinitis symptoms (MFR 1.21, 95% CI 1.17-1.25), whereas in adolescents (11 to <18 years of age) males were significantly less often affected than females (MFR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85-0.95). No sex-specific prevalence difference was observed in adults (MFR 0.96, 95% CI 0.83-1.17). These findings were consistent in all continents except in Asia, where the male predominance remained beyond childhood. Conclusions: The male predominance of rhinitis prevalence in childhood changed towards a female predominance in adolescence across the globe, except in Asia. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these cross-sectional data and examine possible determinants and underlying mechanisms.

“…Em estudo realizado na Alemanha foi demonstrado que, entre as 1314 crianças avaliadas, 50% das que apresentavam diagnósti-co de eczema precoce e história familiar positiva apresentavam asma aos cinco anos de idade, enquanto apenas 12% das crianças sem esses diagnósticos, apresentavam asma 38 . Já em estudo realizado em Fortaleza (Ceará) em 3.015 adolescentes sobre associação de asma e rinite, foram evidenciadas elevadas taxas de asma e rinite, com significativa associação dos sintomas de rinite aos de asma e vice-versa, sugerindo que a presença concomitante da rinite aumenta significantemente a morbidade/gravidade da asma independentemente do envolvimento da atopia 39 .…”

“…In Latin America, the prevalence of isolated AR (without asthma coexistence) is up to 20% [36], and in asthmatic patients it ranges from 28% [36] to 95% [37]. About 13% to 38% of AR patients are asthmatic, compared with 5% to 15% observed in the general population [36].…”

Background. Asthma and allergic rhinitis are highly prevalent conditions that cause major illness worldwide. This study aimed to assess the association between allergic rhinitis and asthma control in Peruvian school children. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 256 children with asthma recruited in 5 schools from Lima and Callao cities. The outcome was asthma control assessed by the asthma control test. A score test for trend of odds was used to evaluate the association between allergic rhinitis severity and the prevalence of inadequate asthma control. A generalized linear regression model was used to estimate the adjusted prevalence ratios of inadequate asthma control. Results. Allergic rhinitis was present in 66.4% of the population with asthma. The trend analysis showed a positive association between allergic rhinitis and the probability of inadequate asthma control (P < 0.001). It was associated with an increased prevalence of inadequate asthma control, with adjusted prevalence ratios of 1.53 (95% confidence interval: 1.19−1.98). Conclusion. This study indicates that allergic rhinitis is associated with an inadequate level of asthma control, giving support to the recommendation of evaluating rhinitis to improve asthma control in children.
