biostudies-literatureUnknown25(1)Zhang S<h4>Background</h4>Rhinobyon and inflammation associated with pollinosis may elevate the risk of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). However, the exact nature of this association remains unclear, particularly in large-scale populations. This study aimed to examine the relationship between pollinosis and OSAHS using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).<h4>Methods</h4>Data from the NHANES spanning 2005 to 2018 were analyzed. Three multivariate generalized linear models (GLMs) were employed to explore the relationship between pollinosis and OSAHS: one unadjusted model, one minimally adjusted model, and one fully adjusted model. Stratified analyses were conducted to assess the impact of pollinosis and other covariates on OSAHS.
