Food allergy in the first 15 year of life: wave 5 of the HealthNuts longitudinal study

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Understanding why some food allergy persists into adolescence is critical because adolescents are at highest risk of life-threatening allergic reactions. Food allergy also has lifelong impacts on children's health. HealthNuts is a longitudinal study of 5300 children that measured allergic diseases from infancy. At the age 15 follow-up, we will identify predictors of food allergy persistence and severity, and the consequences of infant food allergy on later respiratory health.
