- The study examined the link between an anti-inflammatory diet and the prevalence of atopic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in adolescents.
- A total of 1934 participants completed questionnaires on their health and dietary habits, with findings showing that 6.9% had asthma, 25.3% had rhinitis, and 8.9% had eczema.
- Results indicated that those with a strong adherence to an anti-inflammatory diet were 58% less likely to have asthma symptoms, suggesting that promoting such diets could be beneficial for preventing atopic diseases in young people.
