Fig 3 Number of allergic diseases experienced by children in the first 4 years of life for the whole cohort (n = 5276 which includes participants who are missing an outcome for 1 or more allergies, eg, by not participating in age 4-year follow-up) and those with complete data on all 4 allergies (n = 2907).
