Abstract

We tried to conclude the relation between the allergical state, diagnosticated by specific IgE cuantification, by the sex, age and geographical region.

We analize the determinations realized during January-October in 1995 at our laboratory, establishing three age group (10, 11-30, 30) and three geographical regions: belonging to the coast, industrial and agricultural.

The process was made with a hypothesis contrast using the statistical "Chi off Pearson".

We didn't found any significative relation between sex and allergy, we could also say the same about the geograhical regions but with residents difference between the industrial regions and the coast due to the fact that the first ones have more allergies than the others.

There are some significative differences in the age. The group between 11-30 years has more cuantification positive of specific IgE than the other groups.
