Abstract:
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between allergic rhinitis and frequency of muscular exercise and sitting time in Korean adolescents. METHODS: We performed logistic regression analysis to calculate allergic rhinitis odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) about frequency of muscular exercise and sitting time measured by questionnaires. RESULTS: Students participating in muscular exercise over 5 days a week had lower OR than students not participating in muscular exercise (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84–0.98), and the groups whose sitting time were 5 to 10 hours, 10 to 15 hours, over 15 hours had much higher OR than the group participating in sitting time less than 1 hour (5–10 hours: OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.05–1.44; 10–15 hours: OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.15–1.55; ≥15 hours: OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.19–1.63). CONCLUSION: We found that allergic rhinitis of Korean adolescents was associated with frequency of muscular exercise and sitting time.
