Purpose: Aiming to investigate the combined association of sleep quality and outdoor activity with the risk of asthma and allergic rhinitis in children.
Patients And Methods: 16,936 children from kindergartens and primary schools in 13 administrative districts of Shanghai, China were involved in the analyses. The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire were respectively used to evaluate the sleep quality, allergic rhinitis and asthma. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation of sleep quality, outdoor activities and their combination with children's asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Results: The overall prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis in our sampled children were 10.2% and 17.6%, respectively. Poor sleep quality (asthma: aOR, 1.45; 95% CI: 1.23 to 1.73; allergic rhinitis: aOR, 1.16; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.31) and low outdoor activity (asthma: aOR, 1.30; 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.49, allergic rhinitis: aOR, 1.18; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.32) were separately associated with higher risk of asthma and allergic rhinitis, and when the two were superimposed, an additive effect (asthma: aOR, 1.76; 95% CI: 1.30 to 2.39; allergic rhinitis: aOR, 1.46; 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.82) was revealed. These associations were independent of sleep duration, but being stronger in sleep sufficiency group. And after stratification by gender, premature birth and family history of allergy, similar associations were validated in general.
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality and low levels of outdoor activity, when combined, have a stronger association with asthma and allergic rhinitis than each factor independently, and this relationship is not influenced by sleep duration. Our findings highlight the need for public health interventions that simultaneously address multiple lifestyle factors to reduce the risk of allergic diseases.

Background: Epidemiological investigations provide considerable evidence supporting the coexistence of upper airway ailments with lower airway disorders, but the association between common nasal diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and chronic respiratory conditions require further exploration.
Methods: In this study, a two-sample mendelian randomization was employed to explore the potential association between allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and chronic sinusitis with various chronic respiratory diseases. For the primary analysis, summary statistics related to chronic respiratory diseases were obtained from the UK Biobank of European ancestry.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT), or specific immunotherapy (SIT), is an effective treatment for inducing immune tolerance to specific allergens. It is widely used for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, and Hymenoptera venom allergies, with recent applications to food allergies and atopic dermatitis. Despite its benefits, the use of SIT in patients with autoimmune diseases is controversial due to concerns about its potential to induce or exacerbate autoimmune conditions.
