The increasing prevalence of allergies and asthma has led to a growing global socioeconomic burden. Since the outbreak COVID-19 pandemic, health lifestyles children adolescents have changed dramatically. It's unclear how this shift impacted allergy asthma, with limited studies addressing question. We aim explore difference among US during before pandemic using nationally representative sample adolescents. This cross-sectional study included 31,503 participants in National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) between 2018 2021. Allergies were defined on an affirmative response questionnaire by parent or guardian. Chi-square tests used compare baseline characteristics for categorical variables. Differences estimated weighted logistic regression, adjusting demographic factors. Interaction analyses explored variations across strata. In aged 0 17, any was 26.1% (95% CI, 24.8%- 27.4%) 27.1% 25.9%- 28.2%) Thereinto, 2018, respiratory allergies, food skin 14.0% 13.1%- 15.0%), 6.5% 5.8%- 7.1%) 12.6% 11.6%- 13.5%), respectively, 2021, 18.8% 17.8%- 19.9%), 5.8% 5.2%- 6.4%) 10.7% 9.9%- 11.5%), respectively. And 11.1% 10.5%- 11.7%) 2018–2019 9.8% 9.2%- 10.4%) 2020–2021. Prevalence had statistically significant differences. differences persisted after increased both decreased compared pre-COVID-19 pandemic. Further research is required association allergic diseases particular emphasis impact lifestyle changes resulting from measures prevent infection.
