Tóm tắt


Food allergies are increasing and have become a major global health concern. Prevention strategies have shifted from allergen avoidance to controlled early exposure. The latest guidelines on food allergy prevention in children, focus on maternal diet, infant nutrition, skin interventions, and the early introduction of food allergens. Analysis of recent studies, clinical trials and international guidelines show that allergen avoidance is unnecessary during pregnancy or breastfeeding; while breastfeeding has benefits, it does not prevent food allergies. Early introduction of eggs and peanut around 4–6 months reduces the risk of allergies. Skin barrier protection and the management of atopic dermatitis play a crucial role. Controlled early exposure promotes immune tolerance and lowers the risk of developing food allergies. Future research will explore immune mechanisms, the gut microbiome, and personalized interventions.
