Atopic dermatitis is a chronic allergic disease with multifactorial causation. Although its association with diet has been demonstrated, it remains unclear whether the prevalence of atopic dermatitis among adults is associated with nutrition label awareness. Nutrition label awareness indicates knowledge of the existence of nutrition labels on processed food, and the use of them for food selection. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the relationship between nutrition label awareness and the prevalence of atopic dermatitis among men and women using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VI (2013-2015), including a nationally representative sample of 13,505 Korean adults (aged > 19 years). The relationship between the prevalence of atopic dermatitis and nutrition label awareness was evaluated using -tests, χ tests and multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis. Although univariate analysis showed that atopic dermatitis was associated with nutrition label awareness in both men and women, after adjustment for covariates, there was no significant association among men. The significant association between the prevalence of atopic dermatitis and nutrition label awareness among women reveals a sex-based difference in this relationship in adults, and atopic dermatitis may be managed and prevented among women by targeted education regarding nutrition labels and diet.
特应性皮炎是一种具有多因素病因的慢性过敏性疾病。尽管其与饮食的关联已得到证实，但成人特应性皮炎的患病率是否与营养标签认知度相关仍不清楚。营养标签认知度指对加工食品上营养标签的存在以及利用其进行食物选择的了解。在这项横断面研究中，我们使用韩国第六次全国健康与营养检查调查（2013 - 2015年）的数据，分析了营养标签认知度与韩国13505名成年男女（年龄>19岁）特应性皮炎患病率之间的关系，该调查包括一个具有全国代表性的样本。特应性皮炎患病率与营养标签认知度之间的关系使用t检验、χ²检验和多变量调整逻辑回归分析进行评估。尽管单变量分析显示特应性皮炎在男性和女性中均与营养标签认知度相关，但在对协变量进行调整后，男性中不存在显著关联。女性中特应性皮炎患病率与营养标签认知度之间的显著关联揭示了成人在这种关系上的性别差异，并且通过针对营养标签和饮食的针对性教育，可能在女性中对特应性皮炎进行管理和预防。
