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

了解为什么某些食物过敏会持续到青春期是至关重要的，因为青少年发生危及生命的过敏反应的风险最高。食物过敏还会对儿童的健康产生终身影响。HealthNuts是一项对5300名儿童的纵向研究，从婴儿期开始测量过敏性疾病。在15岁的随访中，我们将确定食物过敏持续和严重程度的预测因素，以及婴儿食物过敏对以后呼吸系统健康的影响。

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.
