The aim of the study was an assessment of the nutritional status of children with IgE-mediated food allergies. Material and method: 45 patients with newly diagnosed food allergy (FA) and 33 healthy controls were analyzed (aged 6 to 72 months, 60.2% boys). The nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric measurements (body weight and length) and serum laboratory tests. The results were analyzed with the Statistica 12 software (Tulsa, OK, USA). Results: 82%, 40%, 8.8%, and 6.6% of the studied children demonstrated allergy to hen\u2019s egg, cow\u2019s milk, pork meat, and wheat\/rye, respectively. Z-score BMI &lt; \u22122SD was more often found in the FA subjects under 30 months of age than in the controls (p = 0.04). As many as 77.8% of the FA subjects and 78.8% of the controls were of normal height (hSDS: \u22120.23 \u00b1 1.74 and \u22120.31 \u00b1 1.49, respectively, p = 0.8). Retinol binding protein four serum concentration was significantly lower in the FA group (17.01 \u00b1 3.84 mg\/L) than in the controls (20.47 \u00b1 4.87 mg\/L, p &lt; 0.001). No statistically significant differences were observed between the FA group and the controls (either in the younger or the older age group) (p &gt; 0.05) for the serum concentrations of total protein, total cholesterol, thyroxin-binding prealbumin (TBPA), 25(OH)D, hemoglobin level or white blood cells. Conclusions: In patients under 30 months of age, one of the symptoms of food allergy may be body weight deficiency, while short stature is less common at the time of diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10101687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,14]],"date-time":"2023-10-14T14:38:42Z","timestamp":1697294322000},"page":"1687","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Nutritional Status of Children with Newly Diagnosed Food Allergies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Martyna","family":"Jasielska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0447-7968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Buczy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9557-221X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Adamczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Urszula","family":"Grzybowska-Chlebowczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-752 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Loh, W., and Tang, M.L.K.
