Kojima, Koshin Unit Center, University of Yamanashi Eco-Chill Survey (National Survey on Children's Health and Environment) shows that bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis increase when the annual household income of pregnant women is lower than the average, and food allergies increase when the household income is higher than the average. The research team of Dr. Reiji and others found out.

 According to the University of Yamanashi, the research team analyzed about 7 pairs of parent-child data collected in the Ministry of the Environment's national survey on children's health and environment, and the annual household income of pregnant women was "less than 2,000 million yen" and "more than 200 million yen". After dividing into "less than 200 million yen", "400 million yen or more and less than 400 million yen", and "600 million yen or more", the relationship with allergic diseases when the born child was 600 years old was investigated.

 As a result, it was found that bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis are higher in pregnant women with lower household income, and are significantly associated with children born to pregnant women with household income of less than 200 million yen.On the contrary, food allergies increased as the annual household income of pregnant women increased, and it became clear that there was a significant association with children born to pregnant women with an annual household income of 600 million yen or more.

 In the future, the research team needs to analyze in more detail the reasons and backgrounds for these results, and to lead to health guidance for the prevention of allergic diseases in children who are on the rise.
