背景资料：胆碱能性荨麻疹主要见于年轻人，但其患病率知之甚少。目的：设计一项前瞻性研究，调查该年龄组胆碱能性荨麻疹的发生率和严重程度。（15至35岁）进行了检查胆碱能荨麻疹的问卷调查，部分通过运动激发试验。胆碱能性风团的总体患病率为11.2%，大多数受影响的人年龄大于20岁。26至28岁年龄组的患病率最高（20%）。除了一小群有全身症状的严重患者（11%）外，大多数反应都很轻微，仅限于短暂的、针尖大小的风团（76%）。百分之八十的受影响的科目没有困扰，他们的条件，只有22%曾经寻求医疗attention.Conclusion：这项研究表明，胆碱能性荨麻疹的患病率很高，但病情大多是轻微的。
Background: Cholinergic urticaria is primarily seen in young adults, but little is known about its prevalence.Objective: A prospective study was designed to investigate the frequency and severity of cholinergic urticaria in this age group.Methods: Four hundred ninety-three high school and university students (15 to 35 years of age) were examined for cholinergic urticaria by means of a questionnaire and partly by exercise provocation tests.Results: The overall prevalence of cholinergic whealing was 11.2%, with most of the affected persons being older than 20 years. The highest prevalence was observed in the age group of 26 to 28 years (20%). Apart from a small group of severely afflicted persons with systemic symptoms (11%), reactions were mostly mild and restricted to fleeting, pinpoint-size wheals (76%). Eighty percent of affected subjects were not troubled by their condition, and only 22% had ever sought medical attention.Conclusion: The study shows a high prevalence of cholinergic urticaria, but the condition is mostly mild.
