Our objective was to investigate the prevalence of nasal polyps in an adult Swedish population in relation to age, gender, asthma, and aspirin intolerance. A random sample of 1,900 inhabitants over the age of 20 years, stratified for age and gender, was drawn from the municipal population register in Sk\u00f6vde, Sweden, in December 2000. The subjects were called to clinical visits that included questions about rhinitis, asthma, and aspirin intolerance and examination by nasal endoscopy. In total, 1,387 volunteers (73% of the sample) were investigated. The sample size was adequate, with a good fit to the whole population. The prevalence of nasal polyps was 2.7% (95% confidence interval, 1.9\u20133.5), and polyps were more frequent in men (2.2 to 1), the elderly (5% at \u226560 years of age), and asthmatics. Subjective symptoms of aspirin intolerance were not found to correlate with polyps. Nasal polyps were more common in adults than was stated by the a priori estimate. The Sk\u00f6vde population-based study is considered representative for the Swedish population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940311200709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:40:52Z","timestamp":1412347252000},"page":"625-629","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":187,"title":["Prevalence of Nasal Polyps in Adults: The Skovde Population-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Leif","family":"Johansson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sk\u00f6vde, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"\u00c5kerlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ingemar","family":"Mel\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sk\u00f6vde, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth","family":"Holmberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00f6teborg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mats","family":"Bende","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sk\u00f6vde, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-6749(77)90171-3"},{"key":"bibr2-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/28.4.717"},{"key":"bibr3-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0196-0709(94)90056-6"},{"key":"bibr4-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/108854196778662255"},{"key":"bibr5-000348940311200709","first-page":"141","volume-title":"Rhinitis \u2014 Mechanisms and management","author":"Drake-Lee AB","year":"1989"},{"key":"bibr6-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.311.7017.1411"},{"key":"bibr7-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2000-8806"},{"key":"bibr8-000348940311200709","first-page":"57","volume-title":"Nasal polyps: Epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment","author":"Drake-Lee A","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr9-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016489409126104"},{"key":"bibr10-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.104.2.600"},{"key":"bibr11-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199103000-00015"},{"key":"bibr12-000348940311200709","first-page":"185","volume":"33","author":"Larsen PL","year":"1995","journal-title":"Rhinology"},{"key":"bibr13-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/105065896782103090"},{"key":"bibr14-000348940311200709","first-page":"97","volume-title":"Nasal polyps: Epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment","author":"Larsen K","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr15-000348940311200709","first-page":"111","volume-title":"Nasal polyps: Epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment","author":"Settipane GA","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr16-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100084450"},{"key":"bibr17-000348940311200709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100147462"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology &amp; Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348940311200709","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348940311200709","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:16:57Z","timestamp":1777375017000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000348940311200709"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003,7]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2003,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000348940311200709"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000348940311200709","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003,7]]}}}
