Household income tied to risk for peanut allergies

According to the allergists presenting the research, the findings might be a function of what's called the "hygiene hypothesis." That's a theory that states a lack of exposure to germs increases a child's risk for allergic diseases by suppressing the natural development of his or her own immune system. The research, led by Dr. Sandy Yip, an allergist and Major with the U.S. Air Force, involved more than 8,300 patients, 776 of which had elevated antibody levels of peanuts, which suggests sensitivity to peanuts. The researchers found overall household income was associated with a greater likelihood in peanut sensitization in children ages 1 through 9, which suggests economic status had an impact on younger children but not those who developed peanut allergies later in life, Yip said in a press release.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
