Allergic Diseases in the Asian American Population: Prevalence and Impact

This 55-minute lecture from Stanford University explores the prevalence and impact of allergic diseases in the Asian American population. Learn about groundbreaking research findings that reveal a high prevalence of conditions like eczema, food allergies, and asthma among certain Asian American ethnic groups. Dr. Anna Chen Arroyo, Clinical Associate Professor and Section Chief of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunodeficiency at Stanford University School of Medicine, shares her expertise on the epidemiology of allergic diseases and early life risk factors that influence their development. Discover how these conditions affect nearly 1 in 4 children in the United States, with particular attention to the heterogeneous and rapidly growing Asian American community. The presentation highlights Dr. Arroyo's research, which has been supported by grants including the Stanford Department of Medicine Chair Diversity Investigator Research Award and published in leading allergy and asthma journals.
