Abstract

Rhinitis, with the symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, or nasal obstruction, is the most common upper airway disease among children all over the world ; numerous studies have shown various associations between rhinitis and asthma. Children suffering with rhinitis may increase the risk of asthma or impair the clinical management of asthma because of the ‘allergic march’ , and pose a significant burden on both the individual and society . Due to their associations, the prevalence of rhinitis and asthma has often been surveyed together in epidemiologic studies.After decades of an increase in the global prevalence of rhinitis , a few recent studies reported no further increase or even a reverse trend in some areas since the mid‐2000s . The same changes were also observed in allergic sensitization . Two cross‐sectional studies were conducted following the International Study of Asthma and Allergic disease in Childhood (ISAAC) protocol in 1994 (Phase I) and in 2001 (Phase III) in Guangzhou. Results showed that the prevalence rates of physician‐diagnosed allergic rhinitis in the past 12 months in 13‐ to 14‐year‐old secondary schoolchildren in Guangzhou increased from 17.4% in 1995 to 22.7% in 2001 .Among all risk factors, allergen sensitization, as measured by skin
