The association between allergic rhinitis and triple H (hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia): a population-based case control study

摘要


Background & objectives: To investigate the association between allergic rhinitis (AR) and triple H (hyperlipidemia (HPL), hypertension (HTN), and hyperglycemia) in Taiwan. Methods: This population-based case control study was based on data obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) for the period 2002-2010. Results: After logistic regression, the results indicated that among AR HPL patients, those aged 35- 49 have a higher risk of HTN (aOR 1.158, 95%CI: 1.079-1.244). There was also a risk of HPL in all age groups, with the highest risk among those aged <35 years (aOR 1.609, 95%CI: 1.412-1.833). Males with AR had a higher risk of HTN in all age groups, with the highest risk among those aged 35- 49 (aOR 1.222, 95%CI: 1.141-1.308). There was also a higher risk of HPL in all age groups, with the highest risk among those aged <35 (aOR 1.441, 95%CI: 1.288-1.612). There was no association with hyperglycemia. Interpretation & conclusions: The results of the present study demonstrated that AR is associated with HTN and HPL, but not hyperglycemia.
