Background: The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) is increasing worldwide, mainly due to an increase in antigen exposure. We conducted an epidemiological study involving the staff of the University of Fukui Hospital and its associated hospital in 2006. There were 1540 participants aged ≥20 years, and the rates of Japanese cedar (JC) pollinosis and mite-induced perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) were 36.8% and 15.8%, respectively. In 2016, we conducted a second survey. Methods: The rate of sensitization to JC pollen and mites and the prevalence of JC pollinosis and mite-induced PAR were analyzed based on data from questionnaires and antigen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Results: In the present study, we analyzed data of 1472 participants aged between 20 and 59 years. Total sensitization to JC pollen and total prevalence of JC pollinosis were 57.8% (851/1472) and 40.8% (601/1472), respectively. Total sensitization to mites and total prevalence of mite-induced PAR were 41.4% (610/1472) and 18.8% (276/1472), respectively. Total prevalence of JC pollinosis and mite-induced PAR increased significantly over a decade. Among the 334 people who participated in the 2006 and 2016 cross-sectional studies, 13% of JC pollinosis and 36% of mite-induced PAR experienced remission. However, since the number of new onset cases was higher that the number of remission cases, a slight increase in prevalence was observed over a decade. Conclusions: The prevalence of JC pollinosis and mite-induced PAR continues to show increasing trends, accompanied by an increase in antigen exposure. The remission rate of JC pollinosis was particularly low.
