Bi-directional association between allergic rhinitis and diabetes mellitus from the national representative data of South Korea

Abstract Allergic rhinitis (AR) and diabetes mellitus (DM) share a common cause in inflammation; however, potential relationships between them are not clear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the associations between AR and DM. In this cross-sectional study, data were extracted from the Korean National...
