Background
In Western countries, Asian children have higher food allergy risk than Caucasian children. The early‐life environmental exposures for this discrepancy are unclear. We aimed to compare prevalence of food allergy and associated risk factors between Asian children in Singapore and Australia.
Methods
We studied children in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) birth...
