The prevalence of atopic diseases like hay fever and asthma is increasing in industrialized nations. A pilot study in Bavaria suggests allergies are also rising in Germany, mirroring European trends.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Environmental Health

Context:

  • Industrialized nations report a presumed rise in atopic diseases, previously based on speculation due to limited longitudinal data.
  • Recent European studies confirm increasing prevalence of hay fever, asthma, and atopic eczema in Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark.
  • Japanese research links air pollutants, specifically diesel exhaust, to increased prevalence of mountain cedar pollinosis.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence of allergic conditions in pre-school children in Bavaria.
  • To establish baseline data for evaluating epidemiologic trends in Germany.
  • To compare German allergy prevalence with current European data.

Summary:

  • A pilot survey of over 1000 Bavarian pre-school children revealed a high prevalence of allergic conditions.

  • This finding provides initial evidence of an increasing allergy trend in Germany.
  • The observed trend in Germany appears consistent with increases noted in other European countries.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the need for further epidemiological research on allergies in Germany.
    • Suggests environmental factors, such as air pollution, may contribute to rising allergy rates.
    • Provides crucial baseline data for future public health interventions and policy development regarding allergic diseases.
