To determine if obesity is a risk factor for allergic rhinitis in patients from 2 to 14 years of La Noria Hospital during the period 2017-2018. Material and method. An analytical, observational, retrospective, case-control study was conducted. We evaluated 396 patients from 2 to 14 years of age treated in external offices of Otolaryngology of the Hospital La Noria in the period 2017- 2018, which were divided into 2 groups: 99 with the presence of allergic rhinitis and 297 without allergic rhinitis. The variables were analyzed using the Chi square test. Results. The frequency of obesity in patients aged 2 to 14 years with allergic rhinitis and without allergic rhinitis was 32.30% and 33.70% respectively, finding that obesity is not a risk factor for rhinitis as it does not present statistical significance (OR: 0.94; 95% CI [0.58-1.53]; p = 0.80). In the variables age and sex, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups of cases and controls. Likewise, it was found that bronchial asthma was associated with the presence of allergic rhinitis in 9.10% (OR 0.26; 95% CI [0.17-0.29]), being highly significant (p = 0.00) and it can be inferred that allergic rhinitis can substantially increase the risk of bronchial asthma or that bronchial asthma can affect the presence of allergic rhinitis. Conclusions. Obesity is not a risk factor for allergic rhinitis in patients from 2 to 14 years of La Noria Hospital
