To ascertain the prevalence of childhood and adolescent atopic dermatitis in a Japanese population, we clinically observed the total body of 5 to 6-year-old children (994 cases), 7 to 9-year-old children (1,240 cases), 10 to 12-year-old children (1,152 cases), 13 to 15-year-old children (1,670 cases), and 16 to 18-year-old adolescents (2,159 cases). The examination was performed in the spring of 1994-96, when exacerbation of childhood and adolescent atopic dermatitis most frequently occurs in Japan. Atopic dermatitis was observed in 24% of the 5 to 6-year group, in 19% of the 7 to 9-year group, in 15% of the 10 to 12-year group, in 14% of the 13 to 15-year group, and in 11% of the 16 to 18-year group. The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in 9 to 12-year-old children was two times and in 18-year-old adolescents five times as high as in similar age groups examined 20 years ago.
为确定日本人群中儿童及青少年特应性皮炎的患病率,我们对5至6岁儿童(994例)、7至9岁儿童(1240例)、10至12岁儿童(1152例)、13至15岁儿童(1670例)以及16至18岁青少年(2159例)进行了全身临床观察。检查于1994 - 1996年春季进行,此时在日本儿童及青少年特应性皮炎最常加重。在5至6岁组中,24%的儿童患有特应性皮炎;7至9岁组中为19%;10至12岁组中为15%;13至15岁组中为14%;16至18岁组中为11%。9至12岁儿童以及18岁青少年的特应性皮炎患病率分别是20年前所检查的相似年龄组的两倍和五倍。
