Abstract
Objective: The general objective of this study is to determine the frequency of food allergy in Human Medicine students and the specific objective is to determine the frequency of food allergy to Peruvian products in Human Medicine students. Methods: The current study design is observational, descriptive and retrospective. 355 human medicine students aged 18-25 from a private Peruvian university were included in a type of snowball sampling via electronic messaging. The sample size was calculated using the OpenEpi v3.0 program and the prevalence formula. Results: Of the 355 students, with a mean age of 20.87 years (SD ± 5.01). A Frequency of Food Allergy was also found in 9.3% of the total participants in terms of native products and common in other countries, the highest percentage are seafood 2.24%, spices and condiments 2.24%, allergy to fruits 1.4%, milk 1.4%, red meat 0.84%. Conclusions: There are not very high frequencies of self-reported Food Allergy produced by native Peruvian products and commonly consumed nationwide.
