“…A recent large-scale adult-population survey from Sweden found that both self-reported smoking during the year preceding the survey and a history of smoking (stopped smoking at least 1 year before the survey) were associated with current eczema [17]. These results were in agreement with a study from Taiwan [13] but not studies from Norway [12] or the UK [18].…”

Background: Tobacco smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) are known risk factors for asthma, but their association with atopic eczema is unclear. Objective: To investigate the association of smoking and exposure to ETS with prevalence of atopic eczema in a national sample of 13- to 14-year-olds in Israel. Methods: Cross-sectional study within the framework of the International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Results: Complete data were available for 10,298 schoolchildren. Atopic eczema as well as asthma and allergic rhinitis were significantly more prevalent in smokers than nonsmokers. Multiple regression analysis revealed a dose-response association between smoking and atopic eczema compared to not smoking: occasional smokers, odds ratio (OR) = 1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2-2.3); daily smokers, OR = 2.2 (95% CI = 1.4-3.6). Exposure to ETS at home was significantly associated with asthma (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.1-1.5) but not atopic eczema. Conclusions: The dose-response association between active smoking and atopic eczema in adolescents is a novel observation which deserves further consideration.

“…27,28 But we little know about association between smoking and AE in children and we did not find such an association. Morales Suárez-Varela et al reported that passive smoking was a risk factor of AE, in 6-7 years old but not in 13-to-14 years old children.…”

“…Kramer et al reported that environmental tobacco smoke could have only an adjuvant effect on AE in children genetically prone to allergies. 27,30 In another study from Turkey no association was found between smoking and AE. αBecause only patients with allergic history were taken to the statistical analysis, the number was small for the other significant risk factor (who has an allergy in the family).…”

A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To evaluate trends in the prevalence of symptoms and risk factors of atopic eczema in 13-14 years old school children in Denizli. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : This survey was first conducted in 2002 and repeated in 2008 using the same ISAAC questionnaire in the same age group. Possible risk factors were also asked. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : A total of 3004 children (response rate, 93.8%) in 2002 and 4078 children (response rate, 75%) in 2008 were included into the studies. Doctor diagnosed eczema ever increased from 2.1% to 3% (POR =0.7, 95% CI = 0.52-0.95, p= 0.015). The prevalence of itch rash ever and itch rash in last 12 month decreased respectively from 20.8% to 14.7% (POR =1.52, 95% CI =1.39-1.72, p<0.001) and from 15.4% to 9.5% (POR=1.72, 95% CI=1.49-1.99, p<0.001). The prevalence of itch rash with typical distribution, itch rash cleared completely in last 12 month and kept awake at night by this itchy rash in last 12 month were significantly decreased in 2008. Atopic family history, tumble drying at home, working father or mother in textile industry were found as significant risk factors for atopic eczema in 2008. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Although the prevalence of doctor diagnosed atopic eczema in 13-14 years age group was found to be increasing in Denizli, this study showed a decrease in the prevalence of typical clinical symptoms and signs of atopic eczema. Atopic family history, tumble drying at home, a working parent in textile industry were important risk factors for doctor diagnosed atopic eczema in 2008. Hayat boyu doktor tanılı egzema %2,1'den %3'e çıkmıştır (POR=0,7, %95 GA= 0,52-0,95 ve p=0,015). Hayat boyu kaşıntılı döküntü ve son 12 aydaki kaşıntılı döküntü sırasıyla %20,8'den %14,7'ye (POR=1,52, %95 GA=1,39-1,72 ve p<0,001) ve %15,4'ten %9,5'e (POR=1,52, %95 GA=1,39-1,72 ve p<0,001) düşmüştür. Tipik dağılımlı kaşıntılı döküntü, son 12 ayda tamamen düzelen kaşıntılı döküntü ve son 12 ayda bu kaşıntılı döküntü nedeniyle uykudan uyanma prevalansı, 2008'de anlamlı olarak azalmıştır. Atopik aile öyküsü, evin içinde çamaşır kurutulması, anne ya da babanın tekstil endüstrisinde çalışması 2008'de atopik egzema için anlamlı risk faktörleri olarak saptanmıştır. S So on nu uç ç: : Bu çalışma; doktor tanılı atopik egzemanın, Denizli'deki 13-14 yaş grubunda artmış olduğunu göstermesine rağmen, atopik egzema bulgularının ve tipik klinik semptomlarınn prevalansında azalma olduğunu göstermiştir. Atopik aile hikayesi, evde çamaşır kurutulması, ebeveynin tekstil endüstrisinde çalışması, 2008'de doktor tanılı atopik egzema için önemli risk faktörleri olarak bulunmuştur.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Dermatit, atopik; prevalans; risk faktörleri; eğilimler T Tu ur rk ki iy ye e K Kl li in ni ik kl le er ri i J J D De er rm ma at to ol l 2 20 01 16 6; ;2 26 6( (1 1) ): :1 1--9 9

“…In a Danish population-based study including approximately 16,500 adults aged 30 to 89 years, the 1-year prevalence of atopic eczema was 14 percent [6]. In a in West Sweden study of approximately 30,000 individuals aged 16 to 75 years, the current eczema prevalence was 11 percent [7]. In a Danish cohort study including approximately 1300 individuals aged 28 to 30 years who had been followed-up for 15 years, 10 percent reported atopic dermatitis, but 6 percent were found to have atopic dermatitis at clinical examination [8].…”

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic an inflammatory skin disease with early onset and with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 20%. Although the pathogenesis of the disorder is not completely understood, it appears to result from the complex interplay between defects in skin barrier function, environmental and infectious agents, and immune abnormalities. Aim: To investigate the prevalence and determinants of Eczema among Saudi female aged 21 to 32 years old in Jeddah city. Methods: A cross sectional study involved 190 female students from IbnSina National College for Allied Health Sciences in Jeddah city were chosen by convenient sampling. Data were collected by Interview questionnaire (ISAAC: Core Questionnaire for Asthma, Rhinitis and Eczema) after getting their consent. SPSS used for data entry and analysis. Results: Prevalence of eczema among medical college females was 16.6%, Eczema was similar in Saudi and Non-Saudi females (13.97% and 12.66% respectively, P = 0.545). Eczema was associated with eye allergy (34.2%) with statistical significance P = 0.003. Eczema was associated family members history with statistical significance P = 0.012. There was not statistical significant relationship between eczema and education level, parental jobs, drugs chest and nose allergy. Conclusion: Prevalence of eczema among female medical students was 16.6%. Eczema was significantly associated with eye allergy and Family history of skin allergy was risk factor of eczema.
