A community survey of skin disease was carried out in Lambeth, London. A postal questionnaire asking recipients to give details of the presence of skin disease was sent to a stratified sample of 2180 adults; a subsample of 614 persons were interviewed at home and an inspection was made of the exposed parts of their skin. Altogether 92 conditions were identified. These were graded for clinical severity and classified into 13 groups. The overall prevalence of skin disease thought to justify medical care was 22-5%. The most common important condition was eczema with a prevalence of 6-1%. Age, sex, and social class trends in prevalence were found in certain groups of skin disease. Of those with a skin disease thought to justify medical care, only 21% reported having attended their general practitioner in the past six months for a skin complaint. The reported use of medical care and self medication is discussed in relation to the presence of skin disease and other factors.
在伦敦兰贝斯区开展了一项皮肤病社区调查。向2180名成年人的分层样本发送了一份邮政调查问卷，要求答卷人详细说明皮肤病的患病情况；对614人的子样本进行了家访，并对他们皮肤的暴露部位进行了检查。总共识别出92种病症。这些病症根据临床严重程度进行了分级，并分为13组。被认为需要医疗护理的皮肤病总体患病率为22.5%。最常见的重要病症是湿疹，患病率为6.1%。在某些皮肤病组中发现了患病率的年龄、性别和社会阶层趋势。在那些被认为需要医疗护理的皮肤病患者中，只有21%的人报告在过去六个月因皮肤问题就诊于全科医生。结合皮肤病的存在及其他因素，对报告的医疗护理使用情况和自我用药情况进行了讨论。
