Effects of meteorological factors and air pollution on the number of allergic rhinitis outpatient visits in Changchun city, China.

ABSTRACT: The effects of environmental and climatic factors on the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in Changchun, China, have not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between meteorological factors, air pollution, and the number of AR outpatient visits in Changchun, and determine whether different temperature and humidity conditions would influence the effect of air pollution on the number of AR outpatient visits. Generalized additive and distributional lag non-linear models were used to assess the relationship between meteorological factors, air pollution, and the number of AR outpatient visits. Using different temperatures and relative humidities, we determined whether the effects of air pollution on the number of AR outpatients would change under different meteorolo
