      ab: Background: Maternal depression may have negative impacts on children's behavior and mental health. Childhood food allergy is a common health issue, yet its relationship with maternal depression remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to analyze the association between children's food allergy symptoms and maternal depression through cross-sectional and cohort studies. Methods: This study selected a total of 580 children with food allergy and their mothers who met the inclusion criteria in Ganzhou Women and Children's Health Care Hospital from April 2015 to April 2022, evaluated the symptom levels of children's food allergy according to the guidelines, assessed the depressive symptoms of mothers using self-rating depression scale (SDS), and analyzed the relationship between the symptom severity of children's food allergy and the risk of maternal depression; at the same time, one-year follow-up of mothers without depression was carried out to measure the incidence of depression to further explore this relationship. Results: The 580 children with food allergies in the cross-sectional study consisted of 365 (62.93%) males and 215 (37.07%) females, aged (8.98 ± 2.30) years, with 298 (51.37%) experiencing Level-I, and 282 (48.63%) experiencing Level-II. A total of 56 (9.66%) mothers suffered from depression, aged (42.74 ± 5.42) years. Adjusting for confounders including mother's age, education level, marital status, family income, comorbidities, history of allergies, family history of food allergies, history of psychiatric disorders, current smoking status, current alcohol consumption, current regular exercise status, childhood food allergens and food allergy categorization, the mothers of children with child food allergy symptom Level-II were found to have a higher risk of depression compared with mothers with child food allergy symptom Level-I, odds ratio (OR) = 2.025 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.319-3.128, p = 0.001). In the one-year cohort study, 38 (7.25%) mothers had new-onset depressive symptoms. Mothers of children with a child food allergy symptom Level-II had an OR = 2.165 (95% CI: 1.612-2.902, p < 0.001) for depressive symptoms compared to mothers with a child food allergy symptom Level-I. Conclusion: Among children with food allergy symptom scores of Level-I and Level-II, higher levels were associated with a higher prevalence of depression in their mothers.
