Positive specific IgE levels are defined as ≥ 0.35 kU/L for each allergen.

IgE, immunoglobulin E; AR, allergic rhinitis; OR, odds ratio; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; Der f, Dermatophagoides farinae; BMI, body mass index.

^*Adjusted by age, sex, BMI, parental history of allergic diseases, and maternal education levels.
