Immunoglobulin E-mediated food allergy is an increasingly prevalent public health concern globally. In North America, particularly in the United States, racial and ethnic differences in food allergy prevalence and rates of sensitization have become apparent. Black and Hispanic children in the United States have been estimated to have the highest rates of food allergy. Beyond rates of prevalence, food allergy outcomes, such as health care utilization, psychosocial outcomes, and economic burden, also vary considerably by race and ethnicity. It is important to consider socioeconomic status in conjunction with race and ethnicity in studying differences in food allergy outcomes.
免疫球蛋白 E 介导的食物过敏是一个日益受到全球关注的公共卫生问题。在北美洲，特别是在美国，食物过敏的流行率和致敏率在不同种族和民族之间存在明显差异。据估计，美国的黑人和西班牙裔儿童食物过敏的发生率最高。除了流行率之外，食物过敏的结果，如医疗保健利用率、心理社会结果和经济负担，也因种族和民族而有很大差异。在研究食物过敏结果的差异时，考虑社会经济地位与种族和民族同等重要。
