      Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study.

AB  - Evidence regarding the association between allergic rhinitis (AR) and physical 
      activity (PA) is conflicting. Previous studies have mostly relied only on 
      self-reported symptoms to define AR, did not classify AR by severity or 
      persistence, and included only children or athletes. The present cross-sectional 
      study evaluated the association between PA and objectively-defined AR and its 
      subtypes in the general adult population using data for 1932 eligible 
      participants aged 19 years or older in the 2010 Korea National Health and 
      Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were 
      performed to evaluate the relationship between three types of PA and overall AR, 
      AR subtypes, and rhinoscopy findings showed that moderate-severe AR was 
      positively associated with vigorous (odds ratio [OR] = 3.392, p = 0.002) and 
      moderate (OR = 3.623, p = 0.007) PA compared to mild AR, while persistent AR was 
      associated with vigorous (OR = 3.954, p = 0.004) and moderate (OR = 3.411, p = 
      0.022) PA compared to intermittent AR. On rhinoscopy, vigorous PA was 
      significantly associated with watery rhinorrhea (OR = 2.203, p = 0.048) but not 
      pale mucosa. Total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and three allergen-specific IgE were 
      not significantly elevated in participants who performed PA. Therefore, regular 
      vigorous PA is associated with subjective and objective aggravation of AR 
      symptoms, which may not necessarily manifest as increased serum IgE levels.
