Key Points

  • To investigate the incidence of food allergy in children and identify early-life risk factors associated with it.
  • Examined a Spanish birth cohort of children for food allergy incidence by age 4.
  • Evaluated risk factors including atopic dermatitis and early-life exposures.
  • Categorized food allergies into IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated forms.
  • Food allergy affected 7.2% of children by age 4.
  • Atopic dermatitis was identified as the main risk factor for IgE-mediated food allergy.
  • Potentially modifiable early-life exposures were linked to non-IgE-mediated food allergy forms.

Abstract

In this Spanish birth cohort, food allergy affected 7.2% of children by age 4. Atopic dermatitis was the main risk factor for IgE-mediated food allergy, while potentially modifiable early-life exposures were associated with non-IgE-mediated forms.
