“…The po int prevalence of self-reported hand dermatoses amo ng the wome n of our study was somewhat hig her (11 %) than that of cl inical hand eczema among Lamrni nta usta 's hospital workers (8 %) ( 19). The one-year prevalence of self-reported hand eczema has varied fro m 5 to 9% among men and 11 to 15% among women in studies based on postal surveys of general populatio ns (26)(27)(28). The correspondi ng figures in the present study (7% for the men and 16% for the women) wer e simi lar to these prevalence figures.…”

“…Among fe male farm er s, the risk for hand dermatoses was more than twofold, and for hand derm atoses without other sites of derm atosis the risk was fou rfold that of the men ' s. The risk for hand derm atiti s was higher for wo men und er 35 yea rs of age than for older women.

SUSITAIVAL P, HUSMAN L, HORSMANHEIMO M, NOTKOLA V, HUSMAN K. Prevalence of hand dermatoses among Finnish farmers. Scand J Work Environ Health 1994;20:206-12. OBJECTIVES -The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of hand dermatosis among farmers. METHODS -A questionnaire survey was carried out in a geographically defined sample of the Finnish farming population between the ages of 18 and 64 years (N = 10 847). RESULTS -The one-year prevalence of self-reported hand and forearm dermatoses was 16% for the women and 7% for the men. These figures were similar to the prevalence of hand eczema in two large Scandinavian questionnaire surveys. The highest one-year prevalence of hand dermatoses was found for women on farms with more than nine dairy cows (20%). Atopy (both the personal history of atopic dermatitis and respiratory atopy), female gender, and, among the women, also age under 35 years were the most important risk factors for the occurrence of hand dermatosis. Work-related risk factors were handling disinfectants daily, handling silage preservatives, milking cows, and machine servicing. CONCLUSIONS -Occupationalrisk factors for hand dermatoses were found, especially for dairy farming. The results may be useful for the prevention of hand dermatoses in farming since they direct attention to related occupational hazards, and they may also aid vocational guidance for the atopic population. In order to lower the prevalence of hand dermatoses in dairy farming, both preventive and protective measures should become everyday practice in farming work.

“…Women under 35 years old were having 3 times more common hand eczema than men. 12 Irritan contact eczema was most frequent in women while allergic contact eczema was most frequent in men. We also found that hand eczema was more frequent in women in our study.…”

Aims: We aimed to sort out clinical types, localizations and frequencies of only hand dermatoses (HD), only foot dermatoses (FD) and both hand and foot dermatoses (HFD) and to evaluate the relationship with sociodemographic parameters. Methods and Material: Dermatological examination of 450 outpatients was done and the relationship between the frequencies of diseases, localizations of the lesions and sociodemographic features was assessed statistically. Results: The frequencies of dermatoses were 34% for tinea pedis, 29% for eczema, 9% for warts, 5% for corns, 3% for psoriasis and 21% for the others in the participiants. Tinea pedis was the most frequent dermatose of men while eczema of women. HD except warts were the most frequent in housewives while warts in students. The most frequent HFD were psoriasis, eczema and tinea.Statistical analysis used: Chi square test, one way ANOVA test and tukey's test were used for statistical assessments Results: The frequencies of dermatoses were 34% for tinea pedis, 29% for eczema, 9% for warts, 5% for corns, 3% for psoriasis and 21% for the others in the participants. Tinea pedis was the most frequent dermatose of men while eczema of women. HD except warts were the most frequent in housewives while warts in students. The most frequent HFD were psoriasis, eczema and tinea.Conclusions: We believe that elucidating the frequencies, clinical localizations and demographic features of these dermatoses will be helpful both for diagnosing and decreasing the incidence of these diseases in general population which seem to be a common health problem.

“…Few studies showed that the 1-year median prevalence of hand eczema in the general population was 9.7% (11.4% among women and 5.4% among men) and that the 1-year weighted average prevalence was 9.1% (10.5% among women and 6.4% among men) (Lantinga et al, 1984;Agrup, 1969;Peltonen, 1979;Menné et al, 1982;Kavli & Forde, 1984;Meding & Swanbeck, 1987;Meding & Jarvholm, 2002;Ortengren, 1999;Meding et al, 2001;Brisman J et al, 1998;Montnemery et al, 2005;Bo et al, 2008;Fowler et al, 2006;Hald et al, 2008;Svedman et al, 2007;Lind et al, 2007).…”
