In this study conducted from 1979 to 1984 we have examined 2315 subjects with rhinitis. All the subjects lived in Piedmont. The skin tests identified 1100 subjects (47.5%) allergic to at least one of the tested allergens. This group included 575 (52.3%) males and 525 (47.7%) females (males/females = 1.1). In the 6-15 age range we have found a clear predominance of males over females (112 against 57 or males/females = 2). At the time of testing, 854 patients (77.7%) were in the 6-35 age range. Only 75 subjects (6.8%) had rhinitis alone; the most common combination of symptoms encountered was rhinitis-conjunctivitis, found in 580 patients (52.7%). Symptoms were seasonal in 909 subjects (82.6%), while 191 (17.4%) were symptomatic throughout the year. Among the subjects with pollen allergy, the grass pollen accounted for the highest percentage (883 subjects or 80.3%). Among the subjects allergic to permanent inhalants Dermatophagoides Farinae (252 subjects or 22.9%) and Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus (240 subjects or 21.8%) accounted for the largest number. Mycophyte sensitivity was negligible (36 subjects or 3.3%). In the end we have seen that grass pollen and Dermatophagoides sensitivity prefer males, while Parietaria sensitivity prefers females.
在这项于1979年至1984年开展的研究中，我们检查了2315名鼻炎患者。所有受试者均居住在皮埃蒙特。皮肤试验确定了1100名受试者（47.5%）对至少一种受试过敏原过敏。该组包括575名（52.3%）男性和525名（47.7%）女性（男性/女性 = 1.1）。在6至15岁年龄范围内，我们发现男性明显多于女性（112人对57人，男性/女性 = 2）。在测试时，854名患者（77.7%）年龄在6至35岁之间。只有75名受试者（6.8%）仅有鼻炎；最常见的症状组合是鼻炎 - 结膜炎，在580名患者中发现（52.7%）。909名受试者（82.6%）的症状呈季节性，而191名（17.4%）全年都有症状。在花粉过敏的受试者中，草花粉占比最高（883名受试者，或80.3%）。在对常年性吸入物过敏的受试者中，粉尘螨（252名受试者，或22.9%）和屋尘螨（240名受试者，或21.8%）数量最多。真菌敏感性可忽略不计（36名受试者，或3.3%）。最后我们发现，草花粉和粉尘螨敏感性更倾向于男性，而墙草敏感性更倾向于女性。
