Overview

Atopic dermatitis affects 10-20% of children and 1-3% of adults in industrialized countries. Its prevalence has doubled in the past thirty years. Atopic dermatitis is significantly associated with African-American individuals and tends to affect metropolitan populations as compared to rural populations.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is approximately 5,000-20,000 cases per 100,000 children, worldwide.[1][2]
  • In 2003, the prevalence of atopic dermatitis was estimated to be 10,700 cases per 100,000 children in the United States.[3]

Age

  • The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is up to 20% in children and up to 3% in adults.[4][5][6]
  • The majority of atopic dermatitis patients have onset <5 years of age.
  • Atopic dermatitis incidence is highest during infancy and early childhood.

Race

  • Higher prevalence of atopic dermatitis was significantly associated with African-American individuals.[7][8][6]
  • Of note, patients in different racial groups tend to manifest various clinical presentations. For example, trunk lesions of atopic dermatitis may affect all races, but tend to be more clear and have obvious margins in Asians.

Gender

  • Atopic dermatitis affects men and women equally.

Region

  • Atopic dermatitis is a common disease that tends to affect metropolitan populations as compared to rural populations.[7]
  • Higher exposure to air pollution and household hygiene products in metropolitan and developed cities are potential explanations of this observation.
