澳大利亚被称为“世界过敏之都”,每10名儿童中就有一个出生后的头12个月内出现食物过敏。据研究表明,澳大利亚婴儿中的食物过敏比欧美亚洲更为常见。虽然确切原因尚不清楚,当地研究人员对儿童过敏问题取得进展。

儿童食物过敏可能导致皮肤肿胀、呕吐等症状,严重时会出现呼吸困难等症状。最新研究表明,澳大利亚儿童中约有十分之一在一岁时对食物过敏,而到十岁时有六名儿童对食物过敏。

鸡蛋、花生、牛奶等食物是澳大利亚常见的过敏原,且对这些食物过敏通常在婴儿期首次出现。近几十年来,全球范围内食物过敏逐渐普遍,澳大利亚也不例外。

父母们常问如何预防食物过敏,研究显示早期引入食物可能降低过敏风险,但仍有儿童对食物过敏。目前正进行的试验旨在找到新的预防和治疗策略。

虽然对食物过敏的原因尚不清楚,但遗传和环境都可能在过敏的发展中起作用。澳大利亚正在努力寻找更安全有效的治疗方法,为食物过敏患者提供更好的帮助。
