Resumo: | Background: Various studies suggest that the prevalence of food allergy may be increasing worldwide. Results regarding the prevalence and features of adverse food reactions in the elderly have, however, scarcely been analysed in the literature. Thus, the objective of the present systematic review is to describe the prevalence of food allergy, as well as its risk factors, clinical features and most frequently involved foods. Methods: This systematic review protocol was registered at the PROSPERO online platform (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/) number CRD42018102140. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence and risk factors for food allergy in elderly individuals. We searched international electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, AMED and ISI Web of Science, as well as clinical trials databases for published, unpublished and on-going studies from 1980 to 2019. There were no restrictions on the language or geography of publication. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) quality assessment tool was used to appraise the methodological quality of the included studies. A descriptive summary with data tables was elaborated, and when clinically relevant and statistically adequate, a meta-analysis using random-effects modelling was carried out, given the expected clinical, methodological and statistical heterogeneity of the selected studies. The PRISMA checklist guided the reporting of the systematic review. Results: The prevalence of food allergy in the elderly was 11.2% for self-report, lower than that of SR + food-specific IgE levels (25.4%) and SPT (24.3%), and higher than that in children (when data were available) for all methods of outcome assessment, and that in adults only with self-report. No results were obtained regarding the time and geographical tendencies, predominant foods, risk and prognostic factors, and clinical manifestations of food allergy in the elderly. There was great heterogeneity both in the systematic review and the meta-analysis, which was highest for milk and derivatives (I2=97.142%), moderate for peanuts (I2=44.342%) and lowest for others (I2=0.000%). Conclusions: This systematic review allowed us to draw up-to-date estimates of the prevalence of adverse food reactions in elderly individuals, worldwide. The data reported in all selected studies did not allow an analysis regarding time and geographical trends, predominant foods, risk and prognostic factors, and clinical manifestations of food allergy in the elderly. Our review only involved studies that fully met the inclusion criteria and included analysis of study biases that might affect exposure and outcomes. |

Os resultados acerca da prevalência e características de reações adversas a alimentos em idosos têm, no entanto, sido escassamente analisados na literatura. Posto isto, o objetivo da presente revisão sistemática foi o de descrever a prevalência de alergias alimentares em idosos, assim como os seus fatores de risco, manifestações clínicas e os alimentos mais frequentemente envolvidos. Métodos: O protocolo desta revisão sistemática foi registado com o registo PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/) número CRD42018102140. Conduzimos uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise acerca da prevalência e fatores de risco para alergias alimentares em idosos. Foi feita pesquisa em bases de dados eletrónicas internacionais, incluindo MEDLINE, EMBASE, Biblioteca Cochrane, CINAHL, AMED, ISI Web of Science, e bases de dados de ensaios clínicos, por estudos publicados, não publicados e em desenvolvimento, desde 1980 até 2019. Não foram impostas restrições a linguísticas ou geográficas. Usamos a ferramenta de avaliação de qualidade Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) para aferir a qualidade dos estudos incluídos. Um sumário descritivo com tabelas de dados foi elaborado e, quando considerado clinicamente relevante e estatisticamente adequado, realizada uma meta-análise, utilizando modelos com efeitos aleatórios, consoante a heterogeneidade estatística, metodológica e clínica expectável dos estudos selecionados. A checklist PRISMA guiou o registo da revisão sistemática. Resultados: A prevalência de alergia alimentar em idosos foi 11.2% para o auto-reporte, inferior à obtida através de níveis de IgE específicas (25.4%) e SPT (24.3%), e superior à prevalência em crianças (quando apresentada) para todos os métodos de diagnóstico de alergia alimentar, e também superior à apresentada por adultos, no auto-reporte. Não foram obtidos resultados relativamente a tendências temporais e geográficas, alimentos predominantes, fatores de risco e prognóstico e manifestações clínicas nas alergias alimentares em idosos. Foi encontrada uma elevada heterogeneidade entre estudos, quer na revisão sistemática, quer na meta-análise, sendo está máxima para o leite e derivados (I2=97.142%), moderada para o amendoim (I2=44.342%) e mínima para outros alimentos (I2=0.000%). Conclusões: Esta revisão sistemática permitiu fazer estimativas atualizadas da prevalência de reações adversas a alimentos em idosos, a nível mundial. Os dados encontrados não permitiram a análise de tendências temporais e geográficas, alimentos predominantes, fatores de risco e prognóstico e manifestações clínicas de alergia alimentar em idosos. A nossa revisão envolveu apenas estudos que cumpram completamente os critérios de inclusão e incluiu a análise de vieses de estudos que possam afetar a exposição e resultadosBarata, Luís Manuel TabordaGama, Jorge Manuel dos ReisuBibliorumDias, Inês Laia2020-01-23T17:11:55Z2019-06-122019-05-302019-06-12T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/8706TID:202374033enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-15T09:48:58Zoai:ubibliorum.ubi.pt:10400.6/8706Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:48:59.240650Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
