“…In addition, the 15-year overall prevalence of AD was higher in younger adults compared to older adults. AD can be challenging to diagnose and treat in older populations due to the traditional misconception that it is a "pediatric disease," under-reporting behaviors, agespecific immune responses, and different clinical phenotypes and lifestyle factors [1]. This has been reflected in the relatively lower prevalence of AD in older populations.…”

“…The pre-pandemic prevalence of AD in adults aged 40-59 years decreased significantly. This is likely due to gradually improved healthcare access, early diagnosis, effective management strategies during the pre-pandemic prevalence, and healthcare-seeking behavior among people in this middle-aged group [1]. One previous study suggested an association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and risk for AD in adults [20].…”

Introduction: Previous studies have variably reported inconclusive trends in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) among adults, and there are limited data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to investigate the national trends and age-stratified prevalence of AD among adults from 2007 to 2021 in South Korea, focusing mainly on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic-related factors. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007 to 2021. Overall and age-stratified prevalence for AD were assessed using weighted beta coefficients or odds ratios. Results: A total of 83,566 adults over 20 years (male, 49.40%) were included. During the observation period, the prevalence of AD was stable in the overall population from 2.61% (95% CI, 2.29–2.93) in 2007–2009 to 2.15% (1.68–2.63) in 2020 and 2.38% (1.81–2.95) in 2021. However, the weighted prevalence of AD in adults aged 40–59 years old decreased during the pre-pandemic era, and the prevalence of AD in adults aged above 60 years significantly decreased during the pandemic, with a significant decline observed after the initial outbreak. From age-stratification analysis, the adults aged 40–59 years showed a significant increase after the pandemic outbreak which was evident in specific variables: individuals with rural residence, lower education, and lower household income quartiles. Adults aged above 60 years showed a significant decrease in the slope after the outbreak, evident in specific variables: individuals of female, rural residence, lower education, and lower household income quartiles. Conclusion: We observed a stable overall prevalence of AD throughout the 15-year observation period. However, the age-stratified analysis suggested significantly different trends according to age-stratified groups and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence of AD.

“…Existing studies provide insights into the prevalence and environmental factors associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) globally [1]. Recent findings highlight the growing public health concern of AR, emphasizing the role of environmental exposures and lifestyle changes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic [2].…”

Introduction: Existing studies provide insights into the prevalence and environmental factors associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) globally. However, limitations still persist in these studies, particularly regarding cohort sizes and the duration of follow-up periods, indicating a need for more comprehensive and long-term research in these fields. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence, long-term trends, and underlying factors of these conditions in the general population of adult participants (≥19 years) in Korea. Method: We analyzed data from adult participants (≥19 years) from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) study to determine the prevalence of AR and CRS from 1998 to 2021. To analyze prevalence trends before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, we employed a weighted linear regression model and obtained β-coefficients with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Between 1998 and 2021, over a span of 24 years, the comprehensive KNHANES study included 146,264 adult participants (mean age: 47.80 years, standard deviation: 16.49 years; 66,177, 49.3% men). The prevalence of AR and CRS increased from 1998 to 2021, with AR prevalence rising from 5.84% (95% CI, 5.57–6.10) in 1998–2005 to 8.99% (8.09–9.91) in 2021 and CRS from 1.84% (1.70–1.97) in 1998–2005 to 3.70% (3.18–4.23) in 2021. However, the increasing trend has slowed down during the COVID-19 pandemic era. Conclusions: The significance of continuous monitoring and focused interventions for AR and CRS is underscored by this study. The observed deceleration in the rising prevalence of AR and CRS during the pandemic indicates the possibility of beneficial impacts from lifestyle modifications triggered by the pandemic. These findings call for additional research to explore potential protective effects in greater depth.
