Prevalence of Tree Nut Allergies in Dutch Children
A study found that nearly 6% of Dutch children aged 1-12 years have parent-reported tree nut allergies, with walnut, hazelnut, and cashew being the most common allergens. The research highlighted that fewer than a quarter of children were introduced to tree nuts before 12 months of age, with early introduction more common among younger children. The findings suggest a need for improved prevention strategies and educational campaigns regarding tree nut consumption in early childhood.
- ▪The prevalence of parent-reported tree nut allergies in Dutch children was 5.9%.
- ▪Walnut, hazelnut, and cashew were the most frequently reported allergens.
- ▪Only 24.2% of children were introduced to tree nuts before 12 months of age.
