Web-based survey of food hypersensitivity in general adult population

Abstract

Background: There is limited and inconsistent data on the prevalence of food hypersensitivity (FH) in adult population. Sociocultural conditions and dietary habits may be responsible for the discordance. Furthermore there are serious knowledge gaps about the prevalence rates of FH in developing countries. The aim of the study was to determine the self-reported prevalence of FH in general adult population.
