Peanut allergy treatment safest when started for infants under 12 months
Science, Health & Technology Erik Rolfsen UBC researchers demonstrated in 2019 that pre-schoolers can safely overcome peanut allergies with a treatment called oral immunotherapy. Now they have evidence that the earlier pre-schoolers start this treatment, the better. This real-world study focused on infants younger than 12 months old and reveals that not only is oral immunotherapy effective against peanut allergies, it's even safer for this age group than it is for toddlers and older pre-schoolers.

Several factors contribute to low physical activity levels of assisted living residents
Many people assume that when older loved ones move to an assisted living community, the planned activities will help their relatives get more physically active. But that's not often the case. A new study from the University of Michigan School of Nursing examines factors that influence physical activity and sedentary behavior in residents who live in assisted living communities.
