Allergies and asthma are major contributors to the morbidity and mortality of adults and children worldwide. Recent evidence suggests that some dietary habits may have an impact on the prevalence and/or severity of these diseases. In this study, the epidemiological framework was used to assess the association between dietary flavonoid consumption and prevalence and severity of both diseases. Dietary data came from the 2005-6 National Health and Nutrition Examination survey and the flavonoid data came from the United States Department of Agriculture Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods, Revision 3. Data from over 8,300 participants ages 2 months and above were included in this research. Twenty-eight percent of the study population reported being diagnosed with allergies and 14% with asthma. Chi-square, logistic regression, t tests, and linear regression analyses were used to address the research questions. Participants who consumed more flavonoids had a higher prevalence of allergies, but a lower prevalence of asthma. Participants who consumed flavonoids in the bottom 3 quintiles were up to 25% less likely to report having allergies. Participants who consumed dietary flavonoids in the bottom 2 quintiles were 40--70% more likely to report having asthma. Lower quintiles of flavonoid consumption were associated with increased allergy severity, but there was no significant association with asthma severity. These findings suggest that the consumption of dietary flavonoids may reduce the odds of having asthma and/or reduce the severity of allergies. These results provide program designers and policy makers with evidence that a change in dietary habits may reduce morbidity and mortality of allergies and asthma.
