Sasaki M, et al. - Risk factors for current adolescent food allergy were investigated herein. Using a population-based sample, it was shown that early-onset eczema, Asian background, and family history of allergic disease were associated with an increased risk of food allergy. Additionally, attenuated risk was noted in 10- to 14-year-old adolescents who reported dog exposure in early life. Factors predicting food allergy risk in an adolescent population-based cohort appeared remarkably similar to those predicting early-onset food allergy in infancy.
