Guidelines for Early Food Introduction and Patterns of Food Allergy
Electronic-health-record study of children aged 0 to 3. Peanut IgE-mediated food allergy was 0.79 percent before early-introduction guidelines, 0.53 percent after the 2015 guidance (hazard ratio 0.65) and 0.45 percent after the 2017 addendum guidelines (hazard ratio 0.55). Any IgE-mediated food allergy fell from 1.46 to 1.02 to 0.93 percent. The Associated Press, reporting the study, wrote that about 8 percent of US children have a food allergy, more than 2 percent a peanut allergy, and that overall food allergy among US children has not declined.
