    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-12) Chura Huallpa, Ana Luz; Vilca Mamani, Marisol; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
    Materials and methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, where the search was restricted to full-text articles, and the selected articles underwent critical reading using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendation. In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, with 30% (3) from the United States, 20% (2) from Argentina and Spain each, and 10% (1) each from Puerto Rico, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. The studies from the United States and Spain were systematic reviews, accounting for 20%, while studies from Spain, Argentina, and Puerto Rico were case-control studies (30%). Cohort studies were conducted in the United States and Taiwan, accounting for 30%, and Argentina conducted quantitative case-control studies as well as analytical cross-sectional studies (20%). Results: Of the total articles analyzed, 80% found that breastfeeding for more than 3 months reduces the risk of asthma, atopic allergies, and improves quality of life in relation to dermatitis, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. 20% of the articles found no evidence regarding the preventive benefits of breastfeeding for allergies. Conclusions: In the majority of the articles, breastfeeding is effective for the prevention of allergies in children under 14 years old.
