Climate change, fueled by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, is associated with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, increased aeroallergen production, and air pollution. Our understanding that many inflammatory cutaneous diseases carry important mental health comorbidities is expanding. Simultaneously, the detrimental impacts of climate change on human health are now widely recognized as a global public health crisis. Importantly, these climate-associated phenomena exacerbate the environmental triggers of atopic dermatitis (AD) and are also associated with amplification of comorbid mental health conditions in AD including depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and psychotic spectrum disorders. This review is the first to examine the nexus of climate change, atopic dermatitis, and mental health comorbidities and emphasizes the disproportionate impacts of climate change in vulnerable and marginalized populations.
由温室气体浓度增加推动的气候变化与气温上升、极端天气事件、空气过敏原产生增加以及空气污染有关。我们对于许多炎症性皮肤病伴有重要心理健康合并症的认识正在不断扩展。与此同时，气候变化对人类健康的有害影响如今已被广泛视为一场全球公共卫生危机。重要的是，这些与气候相关的现象会加剧特应性皮炎（AD）的环境触发因素，还与AD患者合并的心理健康状况（包括抑郁症、焦虑症、创伤相关障碍和精神病性谱系障碍）的加重有关。本综述首次探讨了气候变化、特应性皮炎和心理健康合并症之间的联系，并强调了气候变化对弱势群体和边缘化人群的不成比例影响。
