- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) and its risk factors among preschool children in Beijing, using a two-stage random sampling method with a large parent survey and subsequent examinations.
- - Results showed a high prevalence of epidemiologic AR at 48%, with urban areas having higher rates compared to suburban areas, and confirmed clinical AR in 14.9% of children, where common allergens included Alternaria tenuis and various dust mites.
- - The findings indicate that AR is prevalent in young children, is influenced by environmental factors, and is associated with higher occurrences of asthma and eczema, suggesting a need for better awareness and management strategies.
