The Effect of Early Cow's Milk Elimination Diet on the Growth Pattern

Overview

This study aimed to survey the growth of children who were on elimination diet due to cow milk allergy in Turkey. 0-5 year aged children diagnosed with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and healthy age-sex-matched children as the control group was planned for inclusion. Participants will be included in the study by consecutive sampling. The anthropometry measurements (height-for-age \[HFA\], weight-for-age \[WFA\], and weight-for-height \[WtHt\]) will be evaluated according to the Z-score using the WHO ANTHRO \[Z-score = Patient's value - Average value / Standard Deviation (SD)\]. The Z-score (SDS) in the average child by age was "0".

0-5 year aged children diagnosed with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and healthy age-sex-matched children as the control group was planned for inclusion. The study will constitute of two groups; group 1; the children who received cow's milk elimination (CME) diet and group 2; the healthy controls. Group 1 will constitute of children aged 0-5 years who received a CME diet due to CMA (Ig E-mediated and/or non-Ig E-mediated and/or mixed type)\], confirmed by an oral food challenge test (OFC) and had reintroduced cow's milk for at least ≥ three months ago. Participants will be included in the study by consecutive sampling. The anthropometric measurements (height-for-age \[HFA\], weight-for-age \[WFA\], and weight-for-height \[WtHt\]) will be evaluated according to the Z-score using the WHO ANTHRO \[Z-score = Patient's value - Average value / Standard Deviation (SD)\]. The Z-score (SDS) in the average child by age was "0".
