Overview

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

Epidemiology and Demographics

Rhinitis is a very common disease with significant financial impact on the society.[2] Chronic rhinitis is one of the commonest 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] 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] Nonallergic rhinitis is also very common, and it has been estimated to affect about 19 million people in the U.S.[5] Nonallergic rhinitis is predominantly seen in females, and the onset is often after the age of 20 years.[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] Primary atrophic rhinitis is more prevalent in developing countries with warm climates, and it is seen more commonly in young to middle-aged adults.[8]
