Retrospectively Estimating Prevalence of Peanut Allergy Genetic Markers in an Air Force Population

Abstract

Food allergies are complex, multifactorial traits that pose great risk to health and operational success. Latent food allergies could manifest catastrophic outcomes during missions, resulting in potential failure and loss of life. Understanding an individuals risk of developing severe allergies is one of many components that can make up a high-quality surveillance and public health/preventive medicine program.
