BACKGROUND
The assessment of the prevalence of diseases is of primary importance in planning health policies. No complete data on the prevalence of skin diseases across European countries are available.
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence of the most frequent skin conditions or diseases in 27 European countries (24 EU countries, plus Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).
METHODS
We conducted a population-based study on representative and extrapolable samples of the general population aged 18 years or more in each of the 27 countries surveyed. Participants were selected using stratified, proportional sampling with a replacement design. Data were collected using a web-based online survey. All participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire with sociodemographic data and to declare if they have had one or more skin conditions or diseases during the previous 12 months.
RESULTS
A total of 44 689 participants from 27 countries responded to the questionnaire, 21 887 (48.98%) men and 22 802 (51.02%) women. The proportion of participants who reported having suffered from at least one dermatological condition or disease during the previous 12 months was 43.35% (95% CI: 42.89%, 43.81%). The projection in the total population of the 27 countries included in the study resulted in 185 103 774 individuals affected by at least one dermatological condition or disease. Accordingly, we can estimate that more than 94 million Europeans complain of uncomfortable skin sensations like itch, burning, or dryness. The most frequent conditions were fungal skin infections (8.9%), acne (5.4%), and atopic dermatitis or eczema (5.5%). Alopecia, acne, eczema, and rosacea were more common in women, whereas men were more likely to suffer from psoriasis and sexually transmitted infections.
CONCLUSION
Skin diseases are an important public health concern. Their high prevalence has to be taken into account in planning access to dermatological care to address patient needs.
背景
疾病的评估对于卫生政策的规划至关重要。目前尚无关于欧洲各国皮肤病患病率的完整数据。
目的
评估 27 个欧洲国家（24 个欧盟国家，外加挪威、瑞士和英国）最常见皮肤状况或疾病的患病率。
方法
我们对每个调查国家年龄在 18 岁及以上的代表性和可推断的一般人群进行了基于人群的研究。采用分层、比例抽样和替换设计选择参与者。通过在线网络调查收集数据。所有参与者都被要求填写一份包含社会人口统计学数据的问卷，并报告他们在过去 12 个月内是否患有一种或多种皮肤状况或疾病。
结果
共有来自 27 个国家的 44689 名参与者回答了问卷，其中 21887 名（48.98%）为男性，22802 名（51.02%）为女性。在过去 12 个月内至少报告患有一种皮肤病的参与者比例为 43.35%（95%CI：42.89%，43.81%）。对研究中包括的 27 个国家的总人口进行预测，结果显示有 185103774 人患有至少一种皮肤病。因此，我们可以估计有超过 9400 万欧洲人抱怨皮肤瘙痒、灼热或干燥等不适感觉。最常见的病症是真菌感染（8.9%）、痤疮（5.4%）和特应性皮炎或湿疹（5.5%）。脱发、痤疮、湿疹和酒渣鼻在女性中更为常见，而男性更易患银屑病和性传播感染。
结论
皮肤病是一个重要的公共卫生问题。在规划获得皮肤科护理以满足患者需求时，必须考虑到其高患病率。
