Abstract
OBJETIVOS: Estimar factores de riesgo de síntomas de rinitis alérgica en adolescentes de Castellón, España. MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal de base poblacional a partir de la fase III del ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) llevado a cabo en 2002 entre adolescentes de 13 a 14 años. Se utilizó el cuestionario ISAAC para definir los casos de rinitis alérgica. Se estimaron razones de posibilidades (RP) y sus intervalos de confianza de 95 por ciento (IC95 por ciento) mediante modelos de regresión logística. RESULTADOS: La participación fue de 66,8 por ciento (3 995 adolescentes de un total de 5 981). La prevalencia de síntomas de rinoconjuntivitis en los últimos 12 meses fue de 16,5 por ciento, y la prevalencia de alergia nasal alguna vez, de 7,4 por ciento. Con la regresión logística, la rinoconjuntivitis se asoció a la mujer (RP=1,63; IC95 por ciento:1,33-2,00); fumar la madre en casa (RP=1,32; IC95 por ciento:1,08-1,63); historia de sinusitis (RP=2,02; IC95 por ciento:1,51-2,70), y circulación constante de camiones por la calle de residencia (RP=1,58; IC95 por ciento:1,02-2,44). De igual manera, la alergia nasal se asoció con la historia familiar de rinitis alérgica (RP=2,62; IC95 por ciento:1,90-3,63); historia de sinusitis (RP=2,65; IC95 por ciento:1,77-3,96), historia de bronquitis (RP=1,68; IC95 por ciento:1,19-2,36), y clase social, con descensos progresivos al comparar las clases superiores e inferiores. CONCLUSIONES: Diferentes factores de riesgo medioambientales se asociaron con el hecho de sufrir síntomas de alergia nasal; se sugiere la importancia de adecuar medidas preventivas específicas.(AU)
 
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the risk factor for symptoms of allergic rhinitis in adolescents in Castellón, Spain. METHODS: A cross-sectional population based study of Phase III of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) conducted in 2002 among adolescents from 13-14 years of age. The ISAAC questionnaire was used to define cases of allergic rhinitis. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and their 95 percent confidence intervals (95 percentCI). RESULTS: Participation was 66.8 percent (3 995 adolescents of the 5 981 total). The prevalence of rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms in the last 12 months was 16.5 percent and the prevalence of nasal allergy at some point was 7.4 percent. Logistic regression showed that rhinoconjunctivitis was associated with being female (OR = 1.63; 95 percentCI: 1.33-2.00); a mother who smokes in the home (OR = 1.32; 95 percentCI: 1.08-1.63); a history of sinusitis (OR = 2.02; 95 percentCI: 1.51-2.70); and living on a street with heavy truck traffic (OR = 1.58; 95 percentCI: 1.02-2.44). Likewise, nasal allergy was associated with a family history of allergic rhinitis (OR = 2.62; 95 percentCI: 1.90-3.63); a history of sinusitis (OR = 2.65; 95 percent CI: 1.77-3.96); a history of bronchitis (OR = 1.68; 95 percentCI: 1.19-2.36); and social class, with a steady decline when comparing higher classes to lower classes. CONCLUSIONS: Various environmental risk factors were associated with the symptoms of nasal allergies, which points to the importance of implementing specific preventive measures.(AU)
