Born in the fall? You are more likely to have this condition, the study indicates
This affection is much more common in babies born during the autumn months.
It looks allergies are more frequent than ever, with more and more childrenallergy to a food or another. More than 5 million children, on two children in each class, suffer from afood allergy, According to National Jewish Health (NJH). Experts have tried to determine the reason for allergies soaring. By trying to find the cause, the researchers discovered that NJH the season during which children were born could play a major role in their development of allergies.
"We have examined all the children treated in our clinic, and those born in the fall were much more likely to know all the conditions associated with the ATOPIC March," the main author of the studyJessica Hui, MD, said in a statement.
TheAtopic Mars is the natural progression of allergic diseases that start early in life, generally starting with Eczema, which then has a domino effect that leads to food allergies, hay cold and asthma, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
This is not the first research at a point at a similar conclusion. A 2012 study published in theEuropean Journal of Allergey and Clinical Immunologyalso found that a babybirth season is a risk factor for food allergies, although the reason remains unknown.
And another study, published in 2011 in theAnnals of Allergey, Asthma & Immunology, Found that babies born in the falland Winter had a higher risk ofDevelop food allergies. Researchers have discovered that in children with food allergies under 5, 59 percent were born during these two seasons.
The authors of both studies believe that there could be a link between food allergies and a lack of vitamin D at an early age. It is possible, researchers to formulate hypotheses, that the correlation between births and seasonal allergies could be linked to seasonal fluctuations in sunlight.

For their part, NJH researchers plan to conduct further studies to determine why babies in the fall are at a higher risk for ATOPIC March, so that they can try to remedy this phenomenon. As Hui said, "We think that if we can intervene at a very young age, even after the baby is out of the uterus, then potentially it's a way for us to try to stop the development of this ATOPIC MARCH.
