- Top Allergens: Nut mix (67%), Tomato (56%), and Peanut (50%) showed the highest rates of sensitization.
- Age Matters: Children were significantly more sensitized to egg yolk and chocolate, while adults showed higher sensitivity to orange.
- Gender Insights: Sensitization was generally equal across genders, with the notable exception of nut mix, which was significantly higher in males (P = 0.046).
