Abstract
To the Editor, Globally, the prevalence of food allergy (FA) in children is increasing, and FA can induce fatal anaphylaxis, which affects morbidity and mortality.[[1]] Children with FAs are more likely to have food neophobia, which may lead to severe vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis. The earlier the development of FA, the higher the risk of fractures (aHR for the first FA diagnosis at <2 years, 1.19 [95% CI: 1.08-1.31]; aHR for the first FA diagnosis at 2-4 years, 1.09 [95% CI: 1.01-1.19]; and aHR for the first FA diagnosis at >=5 years, 1.14 [95% CI: 1.04-1.26]). The risk of fracture increased with increasing FA severity (fracture incidence rate [1000 person-years]: 36.60 for control vs. 40.63 for mild FA vs. 48.61 for moderate-to-severe FA).
