摘要
The prevalence and awareness of food allergy (FA) among US adults is arguably at a historical high, both with respect to primary immunoglobulin E-mediated food hypersensitivity and other food-triggered conditions that operate through a variety of immunologic mechanisms (eg, pollen-FA syndrome, alpha-gal syndrome, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis). Worryingly, not only are many adults retaining childhood-onset food allergies as they age into adulthood, it seems that many adults are experiencing adult-onset allergies to previously tolerated foods, with correspondingly adverse physical, and psychological health impacts. Consequently, this review aims to summarize what is currently known about the epidemiology and population-level burden of FA among adult populations in North America and around the globe. This article also provides insights into the natural history of these conditions and what we need to know as we look to the future to support effective care and prevent FA.
