Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a widely prevalent skin disease that affects both children and adults. The aim of the study was to assess the association of perceived stress (single-item, self-reported) with AD (self-reported) in a sample of Korean adults using a cross-sectional research design. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 33,018 adults aged 20 years and older collected in the 2007-2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES). An increased level of self-reported stress was positively associated with an increased prevalence of AD in Korean adults (p for trend <0.001). After adjusting for covariates, the odds ratios (ORs) of AD among participants reporting high and very high levels of stress were 1.81 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22, 2.67) and 2.17 (95% CI: 1.38, 3.42), respectively, compared with those who reported low levels of stress. This study found a statistically significant association between perceived stress and AD among Korean adults.
特应性皮炎(AD)是一种广泛流行的皮肤病,影响儿童和成人。本研究的目的是采用横断面研究设计,评估韩国成年人样本中感知压力(单项,自我报告)与AD(自我报告)之间的关联。利用2007 - 2012年韩国国家健康与营养检查调查(KNHANES)收集的33018名20岁及以上成年人的数据进行了一项横断面研究。自我报告的压力水平升高与韩国成年人AD患病率增加呈正相关(趋势p<0.001)。在调整协变量后,报告高压力和非常高压力水平的参与者中AD的优势比(OR)分别为1.81(95%置信区间(CI):1.22, 2.67)和2.17(95% CI:1.38, 3.42),与报告低压力水平的参与者相比。本研究发现韩国成年人中感知压力与AD之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
