To evaluate the prevalence of parent-reported food allergies requiring avoidance diet at early school age.
The school health nurses interviewed, by using a structured questionnaire on the required diet at school, the parents of all the 1542 children starting elementary school in a Finnish town with 210,000 inhabitants.
An allergy to basic foods was found in 41 (2.7%) children: 1.5% to milk, 1.1% to eggs and 1.0% to grains. An allergy to nuts was present in 3.1% and to fruits and vegetables in 5.8%, both with known cross-sensitization to pollens. In all, 9.2% of the children reported some allergy. Milk, egg and grain allergies were associated with soy, nut and spice allergies.
Over 2% of the 1542 Finnish first-graders reported allergies to basic foods (milk, eggs or grains) requiring special avoidance diets at school. The figure suggests that avoidance diets started in the first years of life still unnecessarily continued.
评估在早期学龄期需要避免饮食的家长报告的食物过敏的患病率。
在芬兰一个拥有 21 万居民的城镇,学校卫生护士通过在学校使用结构化问卷询问与所需饮食有关的问题,对所有 1542 名开始上小学的儿童的父母进行了访谈。
在 41 名(2.7%)儿童中发现了对基本食物的过敏:1.5%对牛奶,1.1%对鸡蛋,1.0%对谷物。3.1%对坚果过敏,5.8%对水果和蔬菜过敏,两者均与花粉交叉敏感有关。总的来说,9.2%的儿童报告了某种过敏。牛奶、鸡蛋和谷物过敏与大豆、坚果和香料过敏有关。
在 1542 名芬兰一年级学生中,超过 2%的学生报告了对基本食物(牛奶、鸡蛋或谷物)的过敏,需要在学校特殊避免食用这些食物。这一数字表明,在生命的最初几年开始的避免饮食仍在不必要地继续。
