Abstract

Introduction: Increasing evidence suggests that alcohol consumption may be associated with allergic diseases. This cross-sectional analysis aimed to determine the correlation between alcohol consumption patterns and allergic rhinitis (AR) in US adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 2,179 individuals aged 20 years and older who took part in the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which assessed AR and alcohol consumption patterns. Alcohol consumption was categorized into three groups: "Never" (fewer than 12 drinks in a lifetime), "Now" (currently drinking), and "Former" (a prior history of drinking but no longer consuming alcohol). The association between alcohol consumption patterns and AR was analyzed separately for men and women, adjusting for several comorbidities.

Results: Individuals who currently consume alcohol are more likely to exhibit elevated levels of total IgE and cat/dog dander-specific IgE compared to non-consumers. Compared to "Never" in the male group, "Now" (currently drinking) was positively associated with AR in both the partially adjusted analysis and the fully adjusted model. However, we did not find any positive relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and AR in the female group, which suggests that current drinking was linked to a higher prevalence of AR in men but not in women.

Conclusion: We discovered that current drinking was positively associated with a high prevalence of AR in men.

美国成年人饮酒与过敏性鼻炎之间的关系

越来越多的证据表明，饮酒可能与过敏性疾病有关。本横断面分析旨在确定美国成年人饮酒模式与变应性鼻炎（AR）之间的相关性。方法：对参加2005-2006年全国健康与营养调查（NHANES）的2179名年龄在20岁 及以上的个体进行了横断面研究，该调查评估了AR和酒精消费模式。酒精消费被分为三组：“从不”（一生中饮酒少于12次），“现在”（目前饮酒）和“以前”（以前饮酒但不再饮酒）。酒精消费模式和AR之间的关系分别对男性和女性进行了分析，调整了几种合并症。结果：与不饮酒的人相比，目前饮酒的人更有可能表现出总IgE和猫/狗皮屑特异性IgE水平升高。与男性组的“从不”相比，在部分调整分析和完全调整模型中，“现在”（目前饮酒）与AR呈正相关。然而，在女性群体中，我们没有发现饮酒模式与AR之间的任何正相关关系，这表明目前的饮酒与男性中较高的AR患病率有关，而与女性无关。结论：我们发现当前饮酒与男性AR的高患病率呈正相关。

期刊介绍： No subject pertains more to human life than nutrition. The aim of Frontiers in Nutrition is to integrate major scientific disciplines in this vast field in order to address the most relevant and pertinent questions and developments. Our ambition is to create an integrated podium based on original research, clinical trials, and contemporary reviews to build a reputable knowledge forum in the domains of human health, dietary behaviors, agronomy & 21st century food science. Through the recognized open-access Frontiers platform we welcome manuscripts to our dedicated sections relating to different areas in the field of nutrition with a focus on human health. Specialty sections in Frontiers in Nutrition include, for example, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition & Sustainable Diets, Nutrition and Food Science Technology, Nutrition Methodology, Sport & Exercise Nutrition, Food Chemistry, and Nutritional Immunology. Based on the publication of rigorous scientific research, we thrive to achieve a visible impact on the global nutrition agenda addressing the grand challenges of our time, including obesity, malnutrition, hunger, food waste, sustainability and consumer health.
