Objective To investigate the prevalence of allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis,asthma,atopic dermatitis and urticaria among undergraduate and postgraduate students,and to analyze the psychological impact of allergic diseases. Methods The prevalence of allergic rhinitis,asthma,atopic dermatitis and urticaria among 18-25 years old college students (including undergraduates and postgraduates) in Hefei City,Anhui Province was investigated by paper questionnaire and electronic survey.The psychological status of subjects was tested by self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale.SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results Among the 1 652 respondents,375 (22.7%) developed allergic diseases,including 295 (17.9%) with allergic rhinitis,117 (7.1%) with atopic dermatitis,53 (3.2%) with asthma,and 21 (1.3%) with urticaria.There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of anxiety (21.3% vs.9.9%,χ2=34.300,P＜0.001 ) and depression (33.9% vs.22.4%,χ2=20.341,P＜0.001) between respondents with and without allergic diseases.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that allergic disease was an independent risk factor for anxiety (aOR=2.395,95%CI:1.689-3.397,P＜0.001) and depressiona(OR=2.007,95%CI: 1.509-2.670,P＜0.001). Conclusion There is a high prevalence of allergic diseases among undergraduate and graduate students in Hefei City,especially allergic rhinitis.Allergic diseases significantly affect the psychological state of patients.
