“…Microbiome plays a role in regulating local and systemic immunity and influencing early immune development. 7,[9][10][11] Dysbiosis of the skin or gut microbiota leads to immune system disruptions and the development of allergic diseases such as AD. 12 It is widely known that pathogenesis of AD include abnormal immune responses and compromised skin barrier function.…”

“…The identification of the factors triggering this disease in the home and school environments, as well as educating parents and guardians, will help them take caution while caring for their children during infancy and childhood [20]. Direct medical costs, direct family care costs, and indirect costs associated with the loss of productivity of parents may also be reduced [21].…”

Factors Associated with Atopic Dermatitis among Children Aged 6 to 14 Years in Alimosho Local Government, Lagos, Nigeria

There has been a rise in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) globally, especially in low-and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. The condition has been linked to genetic predisposes, living conditions, and environmental factors. Environmental factors are considered a significant contributor to AD in low- and middle-income countries. This study determined the prevalence of AD in south-western Nigeria and identified risk factors in home and school environments that children aged 6 to 14 years are exposed to. A cross-sectional study was adopted, and the total sample size was 349. Four randomly selected health facilities were used for the study. A questionnaire was used to determine the risk factors in the population. Data analysis was performed using the latest version of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in this study is 25%. Atopic dermatitis was found to be common in females (27%). According to the univariate analysis, children who lived where trucks pass on the street almost daily had the highest cases of atopic dermatitis (28%). Children with rugs in their houses (26%) and those whose houses are surrounded by bushes (26%) had higher cases of atopic dermatitis. Children who played on school grass (26%), attended creche with rubber toys (28%), and attended school where wooden chairs (28%) and chalkboards (27%) are used had a higher number of AD. Bivariate analysis showed an association between AD with a mother’s monthly income (p = 0.012) and eating potatoes (p = 0.005), fruits (p = 0.040), and cereal (p = 0.057). In the multivariate analysis, the consumption of fruits (p = 0.02), potatoes (p < 0.001), and cereal (p = 0.04) were identified as risk factors associated with AD. It is envisaged that the study will serve as a basis for possible research on evidence-based and primary prevention options. Hence, we recommend health education activities to empower communities to protect themselves against environmental risk factors that are preventable.

Moving beyond biology: the critical role of social and structural determinants in atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease with a substantial global burden and negative impact on quality of life. While genetics and pathophysiology are key to understanding AD, emerging evidence indicates that social and structural determinants of health (SDOH and StDOH) strongly influence the condition's onset, severity, and outcomes. SDOH, such as economic stability, education quality and access, healthcare quality and access, neighborhood environment, and social/community context, shape individual risk and disease experience. StDOH, including government processes, economic policies, social/public policies, and cultural/societal values, further act as upstream forces that directly and indirectly influence AD outcomes. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the impacts of SDOH and StDOH on AD incidence, severity, and disparities. Embracing a biopsychosocial model is crucial to elucidate the etiology, epidemiology, and optimal management of AD. Future research should adopt a holistic approach, moving beyond a purely biological perspective to consider the intricate interplay of social and structural determinants in understanding and managing AD.
