Change in prevalence of IgE sensitization and mean total IgE with age and cohort (2005)
Jarvis, Deborah, Luczynska, Christina, Chinn, Susan, Potts, James, Sunyer, Jordi, Janson, Christer, ...
BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional studies show that the prevalence of IgE sensitization is lower in older age groups than younger age groups. This could reflect either a decrease in sensitization with...
