Venter C, Maslin K, Holloway JW, et al. - Given food allergies (FA) may be averted by diet diversity (DD) during infancy, likely by exposing the gastrointestinal microbiota to different foods and nutrients, researchers examined the link between 4 distinct measures of DD during infancy and development of FA over the first decade of life. Data were obtained regarding sociodemographic, environmental, and dietary exposures from a birth cohort born between 2001 and 2002 that were followed prospectively. This analysis included 969 pregnant women who were selected at 12-week gestation. At 1, 2, 3, and 10 years, 900, 858, 891, and 827 offspring were evaluated. A significant decline in the odds of FA over the first decade of life was brought about by World Health Organization DD, food diversity (FD), food allergen diversity (FAD), and fruit and vegetable diversity (FVD) at 6 months and FD, FAD, and FVD at 9 months, as revealed in univariate analysis. Overall, a reduced probability of developing FA was observed in relation to increased infant DD as measured by 4 different methods.
