Is Northern America peanut allergy due to overexposure or underexposure due to belief that you shouldn’t eat it as a child?
Peach is such a specific one to list here, yet it’s not even listed as one of the top 14 allergens.
Unfortunately this isn’t very meaningful. The sample is only patients at the 157 specialist allergy clinics. This isn’t showing the percent of allergies per region, only the percent of patients seeking care.
For example, North America is listed as having 42.8% peanut allergies vs. the actual prevalence being ~1.8%
Hard to believe that milk allergy is more common in Eastern and Northern Europe than in Asia.
Ah, this is among people coming to allergy clinics, not among the overall population. Still weird.
What constitutes a milk allergy?
Poor layout. Is the order randomized? No discernible pattern to the chart; it’s not grouped geographically, alphabetically, nor by any of the results.
Age and menstruation status matters: Estrogen moderates inflammation/histamine response, so peri/menopausal women often get new allergies as they enter midlife. That data, isolated, would be informative but may be clouding the data here. And the age on milk allergies would also be informative: how many children can’t drink cow’s milk where?
Type of allergy matters. Is the Peach allergy (either one) a true allergy, or just part of Oral Allergy Syndrome?
You couldn’t group it by continent?
The small-N is really bothering me.
eastern asia at 1.0% peanut allergy is wild considering how much peanut is used in the cuisine. feels like that answers the exposure question right there.
Samole size to small to use the data.
important caveat at the bottom — this is clinic patients, not general population. regions with better allergy diagnosis infrastructure will naturally show higher rates.
