Based on age, most respondents aged 20-29 were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis
(65.71%) while the least were at the age of ≥ 40 years. Judging from the age
distribution, most allergic rhinitis is in the productive age. It can be explained that at
that age more are in an environment with temperature and humidity that is easily
exposed to aeroallergens such as the work environment, school area, or dusty learning
place with poor ventilation of the room. Allergy is around the age of 20 years.
More women tend to suffer from allergic rhinitis (49.02%) than men. The results of
this study are in accordance with those obtained by Lumbanraja at Adam Malik
Hospital in Medan, where the number of women with allergic rhinitis was higher than
that of men. This is possible because there are more women who come for treatment
and in general women are more concerned with health
