- This study aims to clarify the prevalence and severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults across various regions, including Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America, revealing significant gaps in current understanding.
- An international web-based survey collected data from multiple countries, finding AD prevalence varies from 3.4% in Israel to 33.7% in Thailand, often higher in females, with mild and moderate cases being more common than severe cases.
- Results indicate that AD is a significant health concern in adults, challenging the notion that it predominantly affects children, as many respondents experience chronicity and high morbidity related to the condition.
