This study was conducted to investigate the risks of food allergy and it’s relationship with dietary factors of infants living in Gyeonggi-province in Korea. Four hundred and seventy infants, aged 1-6 years old, and who enrolled in 29 daycare centers located in Hwasung area, were recruited for this study. This study was approved by the university IRB (Institutional Review Board) center, No 1510-173-02. The study included anthropometric measurement and urinalysis of infants, and survey questionnaire to infant mothers.
The results of this study were as follows; 20.7% among 240 boys, and 13.6% among 230 girls were classified as food allergy group. 35.4% of allergic boy subjects and 25% of allergic girl subjects showed their first allergic symptoms, in 6-12 months old ages. This result matched up with the period of their first baby food.
Their main food allergic symptom was dermatitis, and 92.3% allergic boys and 89.9% of allergic girls showed dermatic symptoms, such as hives, eczema, oscillation, and pruritus. The main food allergy etiology was presumed as milk, peanuts, processed foods, fruits, crab, shrimp, egg, vegetables, and wheat.
Prevalence of food allergy of girl infants was related to fathers’ academic backgrounds, girls with higher academic background father had higher frequency of food allergies.
Allergic infants showed lower preference to foods that presumed to occur food allergies and they had unbalanced food habits.
Mothers of allergic infants, showed higher stress level, higher BMI, and severe picky eating for newly introduced, non-preferred foods, compared with mothers of non-allergic infants.
According to infants daily nutrients consumption data, measured by 24-hour recall method, many nutrients intake such as energy, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12, were not significantly different between allergic infants and non-allergic infants. However, allergic infants consumed less vitamin B6, vitamin D and Calcium than non-allergic infants.
The findings strongly suggest that allergic infants need careful nutrition support especially vitamin B6, vitamin D and Calcium. Moreover, nutrition education program for parents with allergic infants might needed for health promotion of allergic infants.
