Food allergy in the first 15 year of life: wave 5 of the HealthNuts longitudinal study [ 7/1/2021 - 6/30/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Understanding why some food allergy persists into adolescence is critical because adolescents are at highest risk of life-threatening allergic reactions. Food allergy also has lifelong impacts on children's health. HealthNuts is a longitudinal study of 5300 children that measured allergic diseases from infancy. At the age 15 follow-up, we will identify predictors of food allergy persistence and severity, and the consequences of infant food allergy on later respiratory health.
