This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of self-reported AR among the Chinese National Railway train crew in the China Railway Beijing Group.<jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold>\n This prospective questionnaire study surveyed 1511 randomly recruited train crewmembers from 20 cities in the China National Railway network, and 494 reported having AR. A structured questionnaire was tailored, designed, and delivered electronically to all subjects. Prevalence of and risk\n factors for AR were analyzed based on self-reported results.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> The prevalence of self-reported AR among train crewmembers was 32.6%. Among respondents, 86.03% worked in passenger cars and 64.6% reported having worse AR symptoms while on trains. AR frequencies were 40.15% perennially\n and 59.85% seasonally. Among the Total Nasal Symptoms Scores (TNSS), significant differences were found between rhinorrhea and sneezing and between nasal itching and sneezing. The Rhino-Conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) showed significant correlations between all seven sections.\n TNSS was significantly associated with the RQLQ. Scores of both the TNSS and RQLQ showed that the severity of AR symptoms (r<jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub> = 0.103) and the impact on quality of life (r<jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub> = 0.113) correlated significantly with seniority.<jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:bold> The prevalence of self-reported\n AR among train crew working in passenger cars is higher than that of the general Chinese population. The severity of AR symptoms and the impact on quality of life are associated with seniority, meaning the number of years working on trains.<jats:bold>Yu R-L, Ning H-Y, Lan T-F, He H, Zheng C-B,\n Wang X-Y, Wang H-T, Wang X-Y. <jats:italic>Self-reported allergic rhinitis prevalence and risk factors in employees of the China National Railway<\/jats:italic>.
