Summary:Cite this as: R. J. Kurukulaaratchy, W. Karmaus, A. Raza, S. Matthews, G. Roberts and S. H. Arshad, Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2011 (41) 851–859. Summary Background Longitudinal studies of the natural history of childhood and adolescent rhinitis are lacking. Objectives To investigate the natural history of rhinitis up to 18 years of age, and how that is influenced by gender and atopy. Methods The Isle of Wight birth cohort was recruited in 1989 (n=1456). Questionnaire data on nasal symptoms (rhinitis) were collected at 1, 2, 4, 10 and 18 years of age. To define atopy, skin prick tests were conducted at 4, 10 and 18 years. The 12‐month period prevalence plus positive and negative transitions (defined as change in disease status in two consecutive study assessments) were stratified by gender and atopic status. Results Overall rhinitis prevalence increased from 5.4% at 4 years to 35.8% at 18 years (P
