Fig 1 Venn diagrams illustrating the associations among asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis (A) and nonallergic rhinitis (B). The size of the circles and overlapping areas are area-proportional with respect to the total study population. The overlapping areas between asthma and allergic and nonallergic rhinitis are shaded.
