A nationwide population-based study in South Korea on a relationship between height and anosmia

Abstract The relationship between anosmia and anthropometric factor has not been investigated sufficiently yet. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate anthropometric risk factors of anosmia in an Asian population. Claims data of subjects over 20 years old who underwent a national health exa...

Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate anthropometric risk factors of anosmia in an Asian population. Claims data of subjects over 20 years old who underwent a national health examination conducted by the Korean National Insurance Program between 2005 and 2008 were analyzed. They were followed up through the Korean National Insurance Service database. Individuals newly diagnosed with anosmia were identified after the initial health examination until the last follow-up date (December 31, 2016). The incidence of anosmia was high in females younger than 70 years old. The hazard ratio of anosmia was found to be higher in taller groups. The tallest quintile had higher risk than the shortest quintile (hazard ratio = 1.185, 95% confidence interval: 1.147–1.225) after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, income, smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular physical activity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. This study showed that the incidence of anosmia had a positive association with height. However, careful interpretation is needed to generalize our result because of the limitation of the study population. Further studies are needed to clarify the genetic or environmental causes of anosmia.Jeong Wook KangYoung Chan LeeKyung Do HanKun Hee LeeNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021)
