Editorial: Dietary Interventions and Nutritional Factors in the Prevention of Allergic Diseases in Infants

Since allergic diseases represent a great public health, there is a strong need for a better understanding of modifiable risk factors. The present Research Topic discusses the main topic related to allergic disease prevention and addresses possible intervention strategies, since pregnancy to postnatal period. Both primary prevention, which prevents the sensitization development, and secondary prevention, aiming to decrease the development of further disease after sensitization, are addressed. Primary prevention may play a role in reducing the burden of allergic disease, especially in high-risk infants, although some preventive measures should be considered as useful preventive strategies for general population.
