Allergic rhinitis (AR), traditionally considered as a childhood condition, is increasingly recognized among older adults, driven by rising life expectancy and environmental factors. Although allergic sensitization declines with age, AR prevalence in the elderly underestimated, 3–12% of geriatric patients affected. Diagnosis challenging due to nonspecific symptoms overlapping conditions, leading underdiagnosis inadequate treatment. significantly impacts quality (QoL), often exacerbating respiratory comorbidities like asthma COPD. Presbynasalis, encompassing age-related sinonasal changes, includes reduced responses, increased chronic rhinosinusitis, altered nasal structure, impaired mucociliary clearance. Non-allergic rhinitis, atrophic further complicate diagnosis elderly. Effective management involves personalized pharmacotherapy, allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT), addressing polypharmacy risks. Despite safety concerns, recent studies demonstrate AIT efficacy patients, reducing medication use. Given AR’s impact on cognitive health, accurate treatment can enhance QoL mitigate health decline. Greater awareness research are essential understand improve outcomes for patients.

This study aims to explore the current status of depression and related factors in middle-aged elderly people China using a cohort database with multi-year follow-up. The population for this project was derived from Health Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were divided into control groups based on scores Center Epidemiological Research Depression Scale. Continuous variables compared t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, while categorical chi-square tests. A multivariate logistic regression model employed evaluate associated depression. total 9,749 participants included study. Correlation analyses revealed that age, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, cholesterol, uric acid, length sleep significantly (p < 0.05). Women exhibited higher risk middle old age men An increase circumference decreased Longer duration educational levels also reduced Unfavorable marital frequency alcohol consumption found In individuals, women, low education level, experiencing dissatisfaction marriage are connected high On other hand, increased moderate consumption, longer
