Food allergy was studied in a total of 866 Finnish children aged 1, 2, 3 and 6 years in the Helsinki region. The diagnosis was based on history as well as on elimination and challenge performed at home concerning fish, citrus fruit and eggs. The prevalence of food allergy was 19% at one year of age, increased to a peak of 27% at three years, and thereafter decreased to 8% at six years of age. The most common allergenic foods were citrus fruit, tomato, eggs, strawberry and fish. A positive history of food allergy could be confirmed by challenge in about half of the cases in the younger age groups and in 100% at six years of age. The data indicate that food allergy is common in Finnish children.
对赫尔辛基地区866名年龄分别为1岁、2岁、3岁和6岁的芬兰儿童进行了食物过敏研究。诊断基于病史以及在家中针对鱼类、柑橘类水果和鸡蛋进行的排除和激发试验。食物过敏患病率在1岁时为19%，3岁时升至峰值27%，此后在6岁时降至8%。最常见的致敏食物是柑橘类水果、番茄、鸡蛋、草莓和鱼类。在较年幼的年龄组中，约一半的病例通过激发试验可确诊食物过敏阳性病史，在6岁时这一比例为100%。数据表明食物过敏在芬兰儿童中很常见。
