Overview

Rhinitis is a very frequent and highly prevalent global disease, and it is one of the most common conditions presenting for medical care in developed countries.[1]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

Rhinitis is a highly prevalent disease with significant financial impact on the society.[2] Chronic rhinitis is one of the most common problems seen by physicians.[1] Allergic rhinitis is estimated to affect one in every six Americans, and it is the fifth most chronic disease in the U.S.[3] Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic disease in the pediatric age group in the U.S,[3] and it was the most common diagnosis reported in the 2000 Otolaryngology Workforce study.[4] The estimated prevalence of allergic rhinitis ranges from 9-42%.[5] Annually, between 30-60 million people in the U.S suffer from allergic rhinitis, 10-30% of these individuals are adults, and up to 40% are children.[1] The prevalence of allergic rhinitis has been found to be increasing in countries worldwide, and factors such as increased airborne pollution, a rise in the population of dust mite in inadequately ventilated offices/homes with central heating/air conditioning, and sedentary lifestyles, have been suggested to contribute to the rise in its prevalence.[6][7][8] The prevalence of allergic rhinitis has significantly increased during the past 50 years, with over 50% of adolecents in some countries reporting symptoms of allergic rhinitis.[7] The prevalence of allergic rhinitis was noticed to have doubled in several countries over the last two decades in studies done in children between the ages 6-14years around the globe.[8] Nonallergic rhinitis is also very common, and it has been estimated to affect about 19 million people in the U.S.[5] There is sometimes an overlap between allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, referred to as "mixed rhinitis", and this has been estimated to affect about 26 million individuals in the United States.[5] The overall prevalence of occupational rhinitis is unknown but it has been estimated to affect between 23-50% of bakers in Norway.[9]

Age

Rhinitis affects all age groups. Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic disease of childhood,[10] with symptoms developing in one of five children by 2-3 years of age.[11] Up to 40% of of children have symptoms of allergic rhinitis by the age of six.[11] The onset of nonallergic (non-infectious) rhinitis is often after the age of 20 years.[5] Primary atrophic rhinitis is more commonly seen in young to middle-aged adults.[12]

Pattern of Allergic and Infectious rhinitis in children[10]
Age Allergic rhinitis Infectious rhinitis
Neonates and Infants +/- ++
Pre-school age ++ ++
School age +++ ++
Pre-adolescent +++ +

Sex

  • Allergic rhinitis appears to be more common in boys during childhood, but males and females are equally affected during adulthood.[11]
  • Nonallergic (non-infectious) rhinitis is predominantly seen in females.[5]

Geographical Distribution

Rhinitis is a global disease with wide inter-regional and intra-regional variations in its prevalence.[8] A study on the prevalence and diversity of allergic rhinitis in regions of the world (several countries in Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, Australia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Turkey), showed wide variations in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis, ranging from 2.9% to 54.1%.[8] Primary atrophic rhinitis is more prevalent in developing countries with warm climates.[12] The prevalence of primary atrophic rhinitis varies in different parts of the world, affecting about 0.3-1% of the population in countries where it is highly prevalent.[13] It has been found to be a common condition in tropical countries like India.[13]

Cost

Chronic rhinitis constitute a huge financial burden to the society.[2] Allergic rhinitis generates between $1.6-$4.9 billion in direct healthcare expenditure in the United States, and an indirect cost of about $0.1-$9.7 billion due to lost productivity annually.[4]
