Wang Y, Peters RL, Perrett KP, et al. - Researchers sought to assess the frequency, characteristics, and risk factors for adverse food reactions, including anaphylaxis, among food-allergic 6-year-old-children utilizing the population-based HealthNuts study. The HealthNuts study of 5,276 one-year-old infants was followed-up at age 6 years (84.4% participated). The analysis included 260 children with IgE-mediated food allergy who completed a questionnaire detailing recent adverse food reactions. According to findings, nut allergy has been linked to a decreased risk of an adverse reaction. It was noted that nearly half of all food-allergic 6-year-old children reported adverse food reactions, and anaphylaxis occurred in one in ten children over a 12-month period. Anaphylaxis has been poorly recognized and adrenaline auto-injectors have not been used properly. There is an urgent need for improved regular education on the prevention, recognition, and management of adverse food reactions.
