[Food sensitization and factors associated with uncontrolled asthma in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico].

Objective: To determine the frequency of food allergy sensitization and the factors associated with uncontrolled asthma in patients from the Yaqui Valley.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study in a second-level hospital in Ciudad Obregon, Mexico. Asthma control was classified according to the Global Initiative for Asthma, the nutritional status with body mass index, food sensitization with skin prick tests, and the rest of variables through direct questioning or medical records.

Patterns of allergen sensitization in patients with asthma in Yaqui Valley, Mexico.

Introduction: People who live in highly allergenic regions have a greater risk of being sensitized; therefore, these areas have a higher prevalence of mono and polysensitized patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the allergen sensitization profiles in patients with asthma in an agricultural zone in Mexico.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a secondary care hospital in Obregon City, Mexico.
