Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. A new study shows certain groups are at increased risk for food allergy.
Zeldin: Specifically we found that children, males, and African American individuals were more likely to have food allergy.
Narrator: Dr. Darryl Zeldin is at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and author of the study.
Zeldin: We also found an interesting relation between food allergy and asthma. Compared to people without asthma, individuals with asthma were much more likely to have food allergy.
Narrator: Dr. Zeldin notes that more research is needed to understand why certain groups are at increased risk. For more information on the study, visit www.niehs.nih.gov. Health Matters is produced by the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
