Allergy and dietary companies early eviction does not appear to prevent the disease in high-risk children

Hunting house dust and dietary changes on the fatty acids omega 3 and 6 in the first years of life does not seem to prevent asthma, eczema and other forms of atopy in children with a history Family asthma, according to an Australian study published in the "Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology."

Sensitivity to house dust and low acid ratio 3/Omega omega 6 in the diet were correlated with asthma.

In a new clinical trial, Dr Guy Marks and his colleagues at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in New South Wales (Australia) investigated whether any changes in these factors could prevent allergic disease and asthma, especially in children by selecting 616 young patients divided into three groups:

- The first receiving avoidance measures dust in the place of life associated with a diet based on an increase in the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6;

- The second benefit of the two types of intervention

- The third receiving no specific program during the first 5 years of life (control group).

Of all the young participants, 516 were evaluated at the age of 5 years.

Measures foreclosure house dust appealed to the use of linen with anti-allergen and regular washing with detergent also anti-allergenic home. In terms of food, the parents were advised to prepare meals with rich rapeseed oils and give their child capsules of fish oil to achieve a high ratio of omega 6 3/Omega.

Although predatory dust measures helped reduce allergen levels in bed by 61%, they had no effect on the occurrence of asthma or other allergies, report researchers. The presence of eczema has even been more frequent in the group "allergen avoidance of dust" in the control group (26% versus 19%).

In addition, while dietary changes have actually resulted in an increase in the ratio of omega 6 3/Omega, they failed to prevent allergic symptoms, the authors add, estimating and asthma can be prevented but in certain conditions that may not appear to result from environmental changes.
