Results of logistic regression for the association of race to food allergy and to sensitization to milk, egg, or peanut among children in the WHEALS birth cohort^a

Variable	Black/African American
	aOR (95% CI)	P value
IgE-mediated food allergyb	1.12c (0.58–2.17)	.75
IgE ≥0.35 IU/mL	1.80d (1.22–2.65)	.003

Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; WHEALS, Wayne County Health Environment Allergy and Asthma Longitudinal Study.

^aVariables available for logistic regression analysis were those listed in Table 1. Variables were retained in the final model if their inclusion changed the estimate of effect between race and the dependent variable (food allergy as determined by physician panel or food sensitization defined as specific IgE level ≥0.35 IU/mL) by 15% or more.¹³

^bAs determined by physician panel.

^cNo variables changed the aOR by 15% or more for food allergy as determined by physician panel.

^dAdjusted for mother's marital status.
