A research study on “Food allergy: Epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment” by Drs. Hugh Sampson and Scott Sicherer summarize the risk factors for developing food allergy--states “A plethora of risk factors are proposed to influence food allergy or sensitization, including sex (male sex in children), race/ethnicity (increased among Asian and black children compared with white children), genetics (familial associations, HLA, and specific genes), atopy (comorbid atopic dermatitis [AD]), vitamin D insufficiency, dietary fat (reduced consumption of omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids), reduced consumption of antioxidants, increased use of antacids (reducing digestion of allergens), obesity (being an inflammatory state),28 increased hygiene, and the timing and route of exposure to foods (increased risk for delaying allergens with possible environmental sensitization)
