Description
Yi-Yu Su and nine co-authors study allergy risk in children born early or small, in a 2025 study from Taiwan. Allergy diseases such as asthma and eczema are common in childhood, and early birth traits may shape later risk. The team used a national insurance database covering nearly all residents, with births from 2004 to 2019.
More than one point seven million infants were included. Being born early was linked to slightly higher risk of nasal allergy and asthma, but lower risk of eczema. Being born small at term showed no link to allergy diseases. The results suggest early birth itself, rather than small size, is the trait that matters for later allergy care.
