“…Finally, the third profile concerned 1.6% of infants, all polysensitized (perc. 10th-90th: [4][5][6][7][8] and showing the highest total serum IgE levels. Furthermore, boys and infants with family history of allergy were more frequent in the later profile (p-trend <0.001 and <0.01).…”

“…In the USA, the prevalence reported was somewhat higher in the 21 st century compared with the 20th century; however, the few studies reporting repeated measures suggested no clear trend ( 64 – 66 ). In Europe, most studies reported an increasing incidence and prevalence in the 21 st century compared with the 20 th century and studies reporting repeated measures also suggest an increase in AD ( 67 – 74 ), although other studies found no increase ( 53 , 75 ). In Australia, most studies suggested a higher prevalence in recent years compared with the 20 th century, and this was confirmed in most of the repeated measures studies ( 76 , 77 ).…”

“…For example, Liao et al (46) assessed the prevalence of parentreported AD symptoms in 2002 and 2007 in 6-8yearolds in Taiwan and reported an increase from 5.8% to 7.7%, and an increase in lifetime prevalence of doctordiagnosed AD from 18.0% to 23.9%. In the 21 st century in Europe and North America there was no specific trend and data seemed stable for studies that reported repeated measures (46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53).…”

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.

“…The prevalences estimated currently for Germany among children and adolescents are reflected in the results of regional examinations such as the school entry examinations in Bavaria in 2012/2013 [ 16 ]. Comparisons of prevalences with studies from other European and non-European countries are only possible to a very limited degree due to the use of different survey instruments in different study populations based on diverging case definitions as well as different examination periods.…”

Allergic diseases are among the most common health issues children and adolescents face. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system becomes allergically sensitised and are detected by measuring levels of specific immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE antibodies) in the blood. This article discusses the prevalences of bronchial asthma, hay fever, atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis for 0- to 17-year-olds, as well as the prevalence of allergic sensitisation to a mix of frequent inhalant allergens (SX1) among 3- to 17-year-olds based on data from the second wave of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS Wave 2, 2014-2017). 12-month prevalence trends between KiGGS Wave 2 and the KiGGS baseline study (2003-2006) are shown according to gender and age group. There were no significant changes in the 12-month prevalence of hay fever (8.8%) atopic dermatitis (7.0%) and bronchial asthma (3.5%) compared to the KiGGS baseline study, which indicates a stabilisation at a high level. More than one in six children (16.1%) currently suffer from at least one of these three diseases. 37.1% of 3- to 17-year-olds are sensitised to the multiple allergen mix SX1. Similar to the development of disease prevalence, SX1 sensitisation too has remained stable at a high level over the course of the past ten years.
