Abstract
Objective: To specify the association between atopic dermatitis and food allergies in students of Human Medicine in a private university in Lima-Peru.
Methods: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study that included 355 students of human medicine between the ages of 18 and 25 years, of a private university in Lima-Peru, through a virtual survey. The data were analyzed using Fisher's technique, Student's T test, and Poisson regression.
Results: In a model that was adjusted by age and sex, having atopic dermatitis was associated with 5.53 times the probability of having food allergies (95 % confidence interval, 3.12-9.79).
Conclusions: There was an association between the precedent of atopic dermatitis and reported food allergies in 28.95 % of the students of human medicine of a private university in Lima-Peru.
