This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of FAs in children in France, describe the most common allergens and determine the prevalence of atopic diseases in children with FAs. Methods: The ELFE study comprises a French nationwide birth cohort, including 18,329 children born in 2011. FAs were assessed by parental reports of food avoidance based on medical advice related to FAs, provided at 2 months and 2, 3.5 and 5.5 years of age. Data regarding FAs were available for 16,400 children. Data were weighted to account for selection and attrition bias. Results: From birth to 5.5 years of age, FAs were reported for 5.94% (95% CI: 5.54\u20136.34) children. Milk was the most common allergen, followed by egg, peanut, exotic fruits, tree nuts, gluten and fish. Among children with FAs, 20.5% had an allergy to at least two different groups of allergens; 71% reported eczema at least once before 5.5 years of age; 24.4% reported incidence of asthma; and 42.3% reported incidence of allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis. Conclusion: In France, the prevalence of FAs in children up to 5.5 years of age is approximately 6%. It was demonstrated that 1 in 5 children with allergies had multiple FAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14173624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,7]],"date-time":"2022-09-07T01:51:57Z","timestamp":1662515517000},"page":"3624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Prevalence of Food Allergy in France up to 5.5 Years of Age: Results from the ELFE Cohort"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Tamazouzt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy Department, Children\u2019s Hospital, University Hospital of Nancy, 54511 Vandoeuvre-l\u00e8s-Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karine","family":"Adel-Patient","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paris-Saclay University, CEA, INRAE, DMTS, 91190 Gif-sur-Yvette, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Deschildre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU Lille, Pediatric Pulmonology and Allergy Unit, Lille University, Jeanne de Flandre Hospital, 59000 Lille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Roduit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Christine K\u00fchne Center for Allergy Research and Education (CK-CARE), 7265 Davos, Switzerland"},{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital, University of Z\u00fcrich, 8032 Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Switzerland, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie Aline","family":"Charles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paris Cit\u00e9 University, Inserm, INRAE, CRESS, 75000 Paris, France"},{"name":"Joined Unit Inserm-Ined-EFS Elfe, INED, 93300 Aubervilliers, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5887-8842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blandine","family":"de Lauzon-Guillain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paris Cit\u00e9 University, Inserm, INRAE, CRESS, 75000 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2492-9864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amandine","family":"Divaret-Chauveau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy Department, Children\u2019s Hospital, University Hospital of Nancy, 54511 Vandoeuvre-l\u00e8s-Nancy, France"},{"name":"EA3450 DevAH, University of Lorraine, 54511 Vandoeuvre-l\u00e8s-Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-3038.2011.01145.x","article-title":"Food allergy: Riding the second wave of the allergy epidemic","volume":"22","author":"Prescott","year":"2011","journal-title":"Pediatr.
