5. Association between PFAS and allergic diseases or
sensitization in early childhood among school children with AR
Among children with AR, PFAS was significantly associated with food
allergy in early childhood (aOR, 2.971; 95% CI: 1.159–7.615) and was
not associated with AD, AR, and recurrent wheeze (Table 4).
Sensitization to milk or egg white in serum-specific IgE at 1 year of
age and sensitization to milk, egg, or peanut at age 3 years were risk
factors in the development of PFAS in schoolchildren with AR.
