Allergic rhinitis can be simply referred to as rhinitis. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), rhinitis is classified as a common type of nasal congestion. The symptoms are frequently targeted at the respiratory system, in particular the nasal membranes. Rhinitis is an extremely common medical condition with a high incidence rate, when compared to other common ailments. This paper discussed the several factors relating to the onset of allergic rhinitis, with respect to the revisiting of the theoretical principles and the statistical analysis of the clinical data being collected. Theoretical studiesThe project aimed to redefine the definition for allergic rhinitis, as well as to put the observed symptoms of allergic rhinitis into several specific classifications. This project not only recapped the common methods currently used in clinical diagnosis, but also provided updates of the active progress in the present epidemiological research. The project focused on discussion of the existing groups of traditional symptom complexes, as well as the ability to identify these complexes using the diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. The great importance of dietary preferences of victims, in triggering the onset of allergic rhinitis, was also highlighted. The initial results indicated that there was an essential need to proceed further in identifying the life-threatening genes which were thought to trigger allergic rhinitis, as well as to study their general pathological pathways as to how these genes affected the degree of severity of the clinical condition from the point of diagnosis. Upon this, it was then possible to summarise the various commonly encountered symptom complexes of allergic rhinitis, applying the principles applied in TCM diagnostics. The explanation of the findings also integrated the knowledge of both the basic principles in TCM and those of modern nutritional studies. Thus, this study not only aided the accuracy in clinical diagnosis at the point of onset of the illness, but also provided significant scientific evidence for future clinical research and development. This has unknowingly open doors to prevention medicine and its related clinical treatments for allergic rhinitis. Clinical studies1. The identification of life-threatening genes in allergic rhinitis sufferers 160 related clinical case studies were collected and analysed, using the diagnostic standards as reference for diagnosing allergic rhinitis. The aim of this part of t he project was to investigate the factors which might play a crucial role in triggering allergic rhinitis, which included genders, martial statuses, occupations, cultural (educational) levels and other personal particulars of the sufferers. In general, the findings showed that individuals between 18 to 25 years old made up the biggest proportion, standing at 55% from all the cases observed. It was also found that students and the white-collared earners were more prone to the outbreak with a huge proportion of those well educated (undergraduates, masters and...
