“…Likewise, atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 15-20% (1,2). Recent studies show increasing prevalence of asthma and AD in Western countries including Denmark (3)(4)(5). Hence, among Danish children, the self-reported number of children with asthma rose from 5.3% in 1986 to 11.7% in 2001 (6) and from 17.3% to 27.3% for AD during the same period (5).…”

Exposure to psychosocial job strain during pregnancy and odds of asthma and atopic dermatitis among 7-year old children -a prospective cohort study by Larsen AD, Schlünssen V, Christensen BH, Bonde JP, Obel C, Thulstrup AM, Hannerz H, Hougaard KS Literature suggests a relationship between maternal stress exposure and risk of asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD) among children; so far no studies have focused on maternal job strain. Based on the prospective Danish National Birth Cohort, results show: maternal exposure to high strain jobs was associated with AD, whereas active jobs were associated with asthma among 7-year old children. Affiliation 639Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2014;40(6):639-648. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3452 Exposure to psychosocial job strain during pregnancy and odds of asthma and atopic dermatitis among 7-year old children -a prospective cohort study Objectives Few epidemiological studies have studied maternal stress exposure during pregnancy and odds of asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD) among offspring, and none have extended the focus to psychosocial job strain. The aim of this study was to assess the association between maternal job strain during pregnancy and asthma as well as AD among 7-year-old children. MethodsThe study is based on the Danish National Birth Cohort and includes prospective data from 32 104 pregnancies. Job strain was assessed early in pregnancy by use of two questions on demands and control. We categorized participants into four job strain categories: low strain (low demands, high control), active (high demands, high control), passive (low demands, low control), and high strain (high demands, low control). Information on asthma and AD until age seven was collected using maternal self-report. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) adjusted for several covariates.Results Maternal exposure to self-reported high strain during pregnancy was associated with 15% higher odds of atopic dermatitis among 7-year-old children (OR adj 1.15, 95% CI 1.02-1.31). Furthermore, an association between the active jobs and asthma among 7-year-old children was found (OR adj 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.24). ConclusionMaternal exposure to high strain and active jobs during pregnancy was associated with asthma and atopic dermatitis among 7-year-old children.

“…The prevalence of allergic diseases of pediatrics was increased globally in these days. 5) The prevalence of asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis in Asia is changed in different localities, it is increasing generally in the developing countries 6,7) . Under the recent study of Korean children with allergies, the prevalence of asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis increased from 1995 to 2000 as follows : "for atopic dermatitis, from 16.6% to 24.9% in elementary school students, and from 7.3% to 12.8% in middle school students for asthma, from 7.7% to 9.1%, and from 2.7% to 5.3%; and for allergic rhinitis, from 15.5% to 20.4%, and from 7.7% to 13.6% respectively" 8) .…”

* ObjectivesIn pediatrics of Korean Medicine, it is crucial to evaluate the overall symptoms of children, especially in the children who have serious troubles in their life. In the era when diagnosis in Korean Medicine is quite suitable to evaluate multiple allergic diseases, and when growing numbers are in needs, development of an objective measurement scale for diagnosis of allergic disease in Korean Medicine became essential. Therefore, in the study, pediatric Allergic Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PADQLQ) was translated into Korean version with validations on some aspects. MethodsIn this study, we translated and validated the PADQLQ and established psychometric evidence on its utility in Korean children with similar problems. 71 children, age of 6 ～ 18 with allergic disease has participated. ResultsThe internal consistency reliability of the PADQLQ by Cronbach's α was 0.94. In three domains (Practical, Physical, Emotional), the Cronbach's α was 0.77, 0.90 and 0.69. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between PADQLQ total score and VAS was 0.75 (p<0.001). And, Structural validity was evaluated by the ANOVA test. QoL differencesof the four groups in the three domains (practical, physical, emotional) were significant. The item discriminative indices were ranged from 0.1651 to 0.8188. ConclusionsKorean version PADQLQ is highly reliable and valid for children with allergic diseases. This is significant to assess the relative seriousness of the allergic diseases and to evaluate the efficacy of different treatments in Korean Medicine.
