dermatitis/obesity

OBJECTIVE Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with multiple potential risk factors for obesity and high blood pressure (BP), including chronic inflammation, sleep disturbance, and mental health comorbidity. Previous studies found associations between general obesity and AD. However, it is unknown

BACKGROUND Identification of modifiable risk factors for the development of eczema is of major public health significance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effects of obesity in adolescence on the prevalence, severity, and quality of life of patients with eczema. METHODS We used the

Fatty liver in non-obese Japanese children was observed in 3.2% of non-atopic children and in 17.6% of patients with atopic dermatitis in 2000. The prevalence of fatty liver in non-obese children aged 0-12 years was studied from 2001 to 2003. Subjects were either non-atopic children, or suffering

BACKGROUND A positive association between body mass index (BMI) and allergic diseases has recently been suggested; however the sex-dependence of this association remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between BMI and asthma and eczema, as well as its

Adult atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with overweight, obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Americans, similarly to psoriasis, but no increased risk of CVD has been shown in European patients with AD. This study investigated the prevalence and risk of gallstones in adults with AD and in

BACKGROUND Obesity in children is associated with increased asthma and atopy. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether obesity in childhood or adolescence increases the risk of atopic dermatitis. METHODS This retrospective, practice-based, case-control study randomly sampled 414 children and

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory disease of the skin, resulting from an immune dysfunction, that often occurs as a comorbidity of obesity. This investigation evaluated the capacity of Taeumjowi-tang (TJT), a Korean herbal formulation from the Sasang medical tradition to influence prognostic

BACKGROUND Obesity in early childhood is associated with increased risk for and severity of atopic dermatitis (AD). Objective To determine whether obesity in adulthood is associated with risk of AD. METHODS This was a retrospective case-control study of 2090 adults using questionnaire, height and

OBJECTIVE Whether obesity is a risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between obesity and AD in Korean young adults. METHODS We included nationally representative data of 5,202 Korean adults aged 19-40 years, obtained

OBJECTIVE Since pathophysiologic evidence has been raised to suggest that obesity could facilitate an allergic reaction, obesity has been known as an independent risk factor for allergic disease such as asthma. However, the relationship between sedentary behavior and lifestyle which could lead to

OBJECTIVE There is increasing epidemiological evidence of an association between childhood obesity and atopic dermatitis, but little is known about the underlying mechanism(s). In the present study, we used a rat model of atopic dermatitis to assess whether juvenile obesity, induced by reduction of

Vitamin D (vitD) is involved in immune regulation, and its receptor has been identified in several tissues including lung, adipose tissue, brain, and skin. Based on these observations, it has been suggested that vitD has an essential role not only in bone metabolism but also in other diseases such
