“…The results of this study may be limited by its reliance on adolescent self-report; AD diagnosis was assessed based on response to a yes-or-no question written using wording from the ISAAC questionnaire. This study also found that prevalence of AD was 1.52-fold higher among female adolescents than among male students [ 6 ].…”

Introduction: As atopic dermatitis (AD) grows increasingly prevalent in Asian populations worldwide, understanding how environmental, genetic, and cultural factors uniquely influence AD in Asians is essential for informing disease management. Our objectives were to characterize the epidemiology of AD in East Asian populations with sensitivity to the changing demographics of AD in these populations and the effects of urbanization and immigration. Methods: A systematic review was performed on epidemiologic studies of AD in East Asian populations over the past 10 years. Results: There is a rising prevalence of both pediatric and adult AD in Asian populations worldwide, particularly in Asians living in urban areas. Studies suggest that the children of Asian immigrants may be at higher risk for developing AD, potentially resulting from epigenetic phenomena unique to immigrant populations. A number of genetic polymorphisms implicated in AD are shared by Asian populations around the world and appear to be rare among other ethnic populations. Conclusions: As the prevalence of AD continues to increase in Asian populations, it is important to understand its distinct genetic and pathophysiologic profile in these populations, as well as characterize the cultural beliefs and practices surrounding its treatment. Future research should aim to capitalize on our growing understanding of pathophysiologic differences to inform the most promising treatments for AD in Asians. Additionally, the impact of immigration on AD suggests that further investigation of these trends may lead to a greater understanding of the epigenetics of AD.

“…AD prevalence among adolescents was assessed in a study using data from the Sixth Korean National Adolescent Health Behavior Survey, 2010, which was conducted by the Korea Center for Disease Control [ 6 ]. Of 37,570 adolescents who completed online self-report surveys, 22.6% reported an AD diagnosis within the past 12 months.…”

“…For example, Burr et al ( 82 ) reported a 1-year prevalence lower than 10% for children, similar to Nissen et al ( 83 ), but higher prevalences were also reported and similar numbers reported for adults by Williams & Strachan ( 84 ). However, when considering the range of reported 1-year prevalence in the 21 st century, children showed the highest prevalence (22.6%) ( 28 , 36 , 81 – 84 ).…”

“…For children, the 1-year symptom prevalence ranged from 4.1% to 22.7% and for adults from 7.3% to 22.7% ( 28 , 42 , 43 ). The 1-year prevalence of doctor-diagnosed AD ranged from 1.2% in Asia to 17.1% in Europe in adults, and from 0.96% to 22.6% in children in Asia ( 1 , 32 , 34 – 36 ). For children, the lifetime symptom prevalence ranged from 4.4% to 17.7% assessed at age 7–15 years, and for adults ranged from 3.0% to 17.7% ( 28 , 31 , 44 ).…”

An overview of how often AD occurs is therefore necessary. A systematic review was performed, which included more than 7,000 articles with data from all continents, on children and adults. Each year, up to 17.1% of adults and 22.6% of children were diagnosed with AD; with as many as 9.6% new cases of AD in children. Surprisingly, in adults, studies on new cases were from the 20 th century. The results will be useful for patient organizations, physicians, scientists and healthcare planning, especially as new therapies are emerging.The primary objective of this study was to systematically review and analyse epidemiological studies of the prevalence and incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) during childhood and adulthood, focusing on data from the 21 st century. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Google (manual search) was performed in June 2019, followed by data abstraction and study quality assessment (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale). Cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiological studies of individuals with AD (doctor-diagnosed or standardized definition) were included. Of 7,207 references reviewed, 378 moderate/good-quality studies were included: 352 on prevalence of AD and 26 on incidence of AD. In the 21 st century, the 1-year prevalence of doctor-diagnosed AD ranged from 1.2% in Asia to 17.1% in Europe in adults, and 0.96% to 22.6% in children in Asia. The 1-year incidence ranged from 10.2 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 9.9-10.6) in Italy to 95.6 (95% CI 93.4-97.9) per 1,000 person-years in children in Scotland. There were few recent studies on incidence of AD in the 21 st century and no studies on adults only; most studies were conducted in Europe and the USA. Epidemiological studies on childhood and adulthood AD in different continents are still needed, especially on the incidence of AD during adulthood.

“…Stress can aggravate skin symptoms and thus further increase stress in patients with AE. This may lead to the maintenance and chronification of AE (9,10). In another study it was shown that receiving maternal welfare in comparison to not receiving social welfare was associated with a higher risk to develop asthma (Odds ratio = 1.87; (11)).…”

This study investigated the extent to which single mothers of children with atopic eczema experience disease-related stress. A total of 96 mothers were divided into 4 groups: mothers living with a partner, who had or did not have a child with atopic eczema, and single mothers, who had or did not have a child with atopic eczema. The following questionnaires were used to assess psychological burden: Short Stress Questionnaire (Kurzer Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Belastung; KFB), Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire (Fragebogen zur Lebenszufriedenheit; FLZ), General Depression Scale (Allgemeine Depressions-Skala; ADS), and the Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Atopic Eczema (Fragebogen für Eltern von Neurodermitis kranken Kindern; FEN). Single mothers had higher levels of helplessness and aggression due to their child's scratching behaviour than did mothers living with a partner and a child with atopic eczema. Single mothers of children with atopic eczema had the highest scores regarding experienced stress in the family and the lowest scores concerning general life satisfaction. Special care should be provided for single mothers with higher stress, in order to teach them how to deal with the scratching behaviour of their children.
