Abstract

It has been hypothesized that margarine intake is associated with allergic diseases. However, the epidemiological evidence in children is limited. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between dietary intake of margarine and butter with eczema and allergic sensitization in 2-yr-old children. Data of 2582 children at the age of 2 yr with complete information on exposure to diet and allergic outcome were analyzed in a German prospective birth cohort study (LISA). Margarine and butter intake were estimated from a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire about general fat use at home combined with questions on the child's spread intake. Multiple logistic regression analysis was applied comparing predominant margarine and predominant butter intake with consumption of both butter and margarine. Predominant margarine intake was positively associated with lifetime prevalence of symptomatic eczema (aOR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.12-2.61) and doctor-diagnosed eczema (aOR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.36-3.25) and allergic sensitization against inhalant allergens (aOR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.01-4.41) at the age of 2 yr. No statistically significant associations were found for butter intake. Stratification for parental history of atopic disea...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
