The prevalence of food allergy is rising for unclear reasons, with prevalence estimates in the developed world approaching 10%. Knowledge regarding the natural course of food allergies is important because it can aid the clinician in diagnosing food allergies and in determining when to consider evaluation for food allergy resolution. Many food allergies with onset in early childhood are outgrown later in childhood, although a minority of food allergy persists into adolescence and even adulthood. More research is needed to improve food allergy diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
食物过敏的患病率出于不明原因正在上升，发达国家的患病率估计接近10%。了解食物过敏的自然病程很重要，因为它有助于临床医生诊断食物过敏，并确定何时考虑评估食物过敏是否缓解。许多在幼儿期发病的食物过敏在儿童后期会自愈，不过少数食物过敏会持续到青少年期甚至成年期。需要更多研究来改善食物过敏的诊断、治疗和预防。
