Bobrowska-Korzeniowska M, Kapszewicz K, Jerzynska J, et al. - Based on data from the Polish Mother and Child Cohort Study, researchers performed this investigation to examine the links between home environment factors and allergic diseases at 1 year of life and new onset and remission of children's allergy diagnosis at ages 7-9 years. In this study, they studied data obtained from 211 participants. Food allergy was identified as the most common symptom (39%), followed by atopic dermatitis (35%) and asthma (12%), during the first year of life. Findings revealed an association of new onset and/or remission of allergic diseases with hypersensitivity to house-dust mites in children who were polysensitized and with parental atopy. The likelihood of suffering other atopic disease (except asthma) at ages 7-9 years was more and that of developing a remission of the disease was less among children who had food allergy, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis at the age of 1 year.
