- The study involved 1,115 children who were tracked from birth to age five, with 523 of them having no evidence of allergies and the remaining 592 diagnosed with one or more allergies by age five.
- Researchers found a "bacterial signature" associated with the development of allergies, which is considered a hallmark of an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the gut.
