Recent studies have reported an association between systolic blood pressure (BP) and rhinitis. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis is 20% to 30% in Japan. The present cross-sectional study was performed to assess the relation between BP and allergic rhinitis in a sample of 2,292 male adolescent high school students who attended the annual school health examination. Of the 2,292 students (mean age, 16 years), 26.6% were considered to have allergic rhinitis based on their responses to a questionnaire, 25.1% were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by an otolaryngologist, and 12.6% were consistently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by both questionnaire and an otolaryngologist. There was no difference in systolic BP between subjects with and without allergic rhinitis. Diastolic BP, however, was higher in subjects without allergic rhinitis than in those with allergic rhinitis as diagnosed by questionnaire alone or by both questionnaire and an otolaryngologist. When the subjects were divided into three BP categories (normal, high normal, and hypertension) according to the criteria in the JSH 2000, the rates of allergic rhinitis were similar in the three BP categories. These findings do not confirm a relation between allergic rhinitis and systolic BP.
近期研究报告了收缩压（BP）与鼻炎之间的关联。在日本，过敏性鼻炎的患病率为20%至30%。本横断面研究旨在评估2292名参加年度学校健康检查的男性青少年高中生样本中血压与过敏性鼻炎之间的关系。在这2292名学生（平均年龄16岁）中，根据问卷回答，26.6%的学生被认为患有过敏性鼻炎，25.1%的学生被耳鼻喉科医生诊断为过敏性鼻炎，12.6%的学生通过问卷和耳鼻喉科医生的诊断均被确诊为过敏性鼻炎。患有和未患有过敏性鼻炎的受试者之间收缩压无差异。然而，仅通过问卷或问卷与耳鼻喉科医生诊断均为过敏性鼻炎的受试者中，未患过敏性鼻炎的受试者舒张压高于患过敏性鼻炎的受试者。根据JSH 2000标准将受试者分为三个血压类别（正常、高正常和高血压）时，三个血压类别中过敏性鼻炎的发生率相似。这些发现并未证实过敏性鼻炎与收缩压之间存在关联。
