    Comment:     “Our son Bradley attended your clinic for the first time about a month ago. Bradley had numerous tests done through a Pediatrician to try and determine the source of his health problems with no results. When he first came to see you he was generally feeling unwell. Thanks for making such a difference in our son’s life. He has been a different child. His appetite has returned with gusto. His energy levels have also dramatically increased and he is now playing AFL again".

Allergies in Australia & New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand have some of the highest rates of allergies in the world.  Data suggests that rates of some allergies have doubled in Australia in the last 25 years and in New Zealand have doubled in as little as the last 10 years.

Australia has one of the highest rates of allergies in the world. 

 

Several studies suggest that the rates of eczema and hayfever have doubled within the last 25 years and may increase a further 70% by 2050.

 

It is expected

1 in 20 kids will experience a transient food allergy

1 in 5 of us will develop allergic rhinitis

1 in 3 of us will develop an allergy in our lifetime

 

Asthma, hayfever, chronic sinusitis and “other allergy” are 4 of the top 10 most common, self-reported, long term health conditions reported by 12-24 year olds.  The highest prevalence of allergies is in the working population aged 15 to 64 years. 

 

Australian allergy sufferers are estimated to bear 49% of the cost of their allergies and spend $120 million each year on over-the-counter allergy medications.  About 20% of the healthcare budget is directed toward allergy medication and prevention. 

 

In 2007 alone the cost of allergies was calculated to be $7.8 billion dollars. 

 

Allergies are thought to be responsible for around half a million sick days each year.  A study on presenteeism showed that the costs of lost productivity through sickness at work were about 4 times higher than the costs from absenteeism.  Allergies accounted directly for 19% of the $25.7 billion estimated cost of presenteeism.  Allergy related conditions such as eczema, asthma, headache and migraine accounted for a further 17% of lost productivity.



Allergies in New Zealand

New Zealand has colloquially been referred to as the allergy capital of the world.

 

Allergies affect about 20% of the population, affecting mainly young people of working age or an estimated 800 000 New Zealanders.  Whereas allergy rates are estimated to have doubled in Australia over 25 years the estimate in New Zealand is a doubling in the last 10 years.  Allergy New Zealand reported an increase from 7 500 inquiries in 1998 to more than 100 000 in 2002. 


The cost of allergic disease in New Zealand is estimated to be more than $5 billion each year.

Allergic diseases are a significant factor in avoidable hospital admissions including for asthma and for repeat GP visits for conditions such as eczema, and conjunctivitis. 

 

Approximately 1 in 6 New Zealanders have asthma with about 70-80% of cases reportedly associated with allergies.  Approximately $825 million a year is spent on treatment.

 

About 90 000 New Zealanders are said to suffer from a food allergy.  500 000 are estimated to suffer from an allergy to pollen.

 

AAE opened its first New Zealand clinic in Mairangi Bay, Auckland in October 2007.
