Resumen
BEDOLLA-PULIDO, Angie et al. Prevalence of cow's milk allergy and lactose intolerance among Mexican late adolescents. Rev. alerg. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.69, n.3, pp.105-108. Epub 19-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2448-9190. https://doi.org/10.29262/ram.v69i3.1120.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of cow's milk allergy and lactose intolerance in a sample of late adolescents.
Methods:
Through a population-based study, data corresponding to students with aged 15 to 18 years were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1992 adolescents was analized. The revalence of cow's milk allergy was 1.4% (95% CI: 0.2% to 0.8%) and the revalence of lactose intolerance was 0.5% (95% CI: 0.2% to 0.8%). Adolescents with cow's milk allergy had fewer gastrointestinal symptoms (p = 0.036), but more skin (p < 0.001) and respiratory (p = 0.028) ailments than adolescents with lactose intolerance.
Conclusions:
The manifestations associated with cow's milk consumption in late adolescents seem to correspond mainly to cow's milk allergy than to lactose intolerance.
