“…Noteworthy allergenic foods include eggs, milk, soybeans, buckwheat, meat, fish, shellfish, and peaches ( 22 ). A study investigating allergic diseases and antigen sensitization among children and adolescents underscored a high sensitization rate to eggs and milk during infancy ( 23 ). Given that this study did not incorporate food allergies into the allergy prevalence category, a comprehensive analysis of dietary causation proves challenging.…”

“…Similarly, an examination of the relationship between nutrient intake and atopic dermatitis risk in children under 12 years revealed that excessive fat intake and insufficient or excessive vitamin C intake impacted the likelihood of atopic dermatitis ( 19 ). Additionally, an analysis of antigen sensitization patterns over four decades in Korean children and adolescents demonstrated an increasing prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis, along with heightened sensitization to companion animals, crustaceans, and pollen antigens ( 23 ). The evolution of children’s dietary habits, influenced by reduced outdoor activity time and augmented exposure to food-related media, further emphasizes the need for continual observation of the intricate link between nutritional intake and allergic diseases ( 1 , 6 ).…”

IntroductionThis study investigated the prevalence of allergic diseases in Korean children aged 6 and below, focusing on the interplay between nutritional status, household income levels, and allergic disease occurrence.MethodsThis study used data from the 2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationwide comprehensive survey, and included a representative sample of 30,382 children under the age of 6 to investigate in detail the relationship between allergic diseases, nutritional intake, and socioeconomic factors. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with allergic diseases, including gender, BMI, eating habits, dietary supplement intake, and nutrient consumption. To predict childhood asthma, 14 machine learning models were compared using the ‘pycaret’ package in Python.ResultsWe discerned that 24.7% were diagnosed with allergic conditions like atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Notably, household income exhibited a significant influence, with the lowest income quartile exhibiting higher prevalence rates of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and multiple allergic diseases. In contrast, the highest income quartile displayed lower rates of allergic rhinitis. Children diagnosed with allergic diseases demonstrated compromised intake of essential nutrients such as energy, dietary fiber, vitamin B1, sodium, potassium, and iron. Particularly noteworthy were the deficits in dietary fiber, vitamin A, niacin, and potassium intake among children aged 3–5 with allergies. Logistic regression analysis further elucidated that within low-income families, female children with higher BMIs, frequent dining out, dietary supplement usage, and altered consumption of vitamin B1 and iron faced an elevated risk of allergic disease diagnosis. Additionally, machine learning analysis pinpointed influential predictors for childhood asthma, encompassing BMI, household income, subjective health perception, height, and dietary habits.DiscussionOur findings underscore the pronounced impact of income levels on the intricate nexus between allergic diseases and nutritional status. Furthermore, our machine learning insights illuminate the multifaceted determinants of childhood asthma, where physiological traits, socioeconomic circumstances, environmental factors, and dietary choices intertwine to shape disease prevalence. This study emphasizes the urgency of tailored nutritional interventions, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, while also underscoring the necessity for comprehensive longitudinal investigations to unravel the intricate relationship between allergic diseases, nutritional factors, and socioeconomic strata.
