Background: Urban vegetation offers many benefits to population health and wellbeing. In addition to these benefits, trees also emit pollen that can cause allergies. Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between urban vegetation and allergic rhinitis in the Montreal area. Methods: Data on spring symptoms (April, May, June) of allergic rhinitis were retrieved from the 2008 and 2014-2015 Quebec Population Health Surveys (EQSP) and population-weighted. 2015 Landsat-8 satellite images and LiDAR (Light Detection and ranging) point cloud were used to calculate, respectively, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the average crown volume of trees. The values of these indices were classified into population quintiles. Associations between vegetation parameters and the prevalence of symptoms of allergic rhinitis were assessed with logistic regression models within buffer zones of 100, 250, 500, and 1000 meters around the respondent’s six-digit residential postal codes, adjusting for sex, age and categories of income. Results: The combined sample of the two surveys totaled 6,901 respondents. The estimated prevalence of spring symptoms of allergic rhinitis in the population was 11.3% (CI95%: 10.4 – 12.2). The NDVI and average crown volume were not associated with symptoms of allergic rhinitis for any of the buffer zones. For a buffer zone of 250 meters, the adjusted odds ratio for an increase from the lowest to the highest NDVI value (Q1 and Q5) was 1.029 (CI95%: 0.764 – 1.385). The adjusted odds ratio for an increase from the lowest to the highest average crown volume value was 1.167 (CI95%: 0.878 - 1.552). Conclusion: The results suggest that vegetation density does not have an impact on the prevalence of spring symptoms of allergic rhinitis in residents of the Montreal urban area. More detailed assessments on the associations with vegetation types are needed. Keywords: Urban vegetation, allergic rhinitis, Remote Sensing, NDVI
