Social economic status is a well-known risk factor for allergic disease. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between social economic status and atopic dermatitis in Korean adults. Methods: Data were acquired from 18,066 men and women aged older than 19 years who participated in the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES), which was conducted from 2010 to 2012. The presence of atopic dermatitis was based on self-reported physician diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in the Health Interview Surveys. Results: The prevalence of atopic dermatitis was 2.3%, which decreased with age. In univariate analysis, adults with atopic dermatitis were younger, well-educated, had higher monthly family income, had more household members, and lived in the urban area (P< 0.05), whereas sex, residential type, or smoking status was not associated with the presence of atopic dermatitis. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity were lower in atopic dermatitis subjects, while asthma was higher (P< 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that younger age and the presence of asthma were associated with higher prevalence of atopic dermatitis (P< 0.01). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that younger age and the prevalence of asthma may be important risk factors for the prevalence of atopic dermatitis in Korean adults. These results warrant future studies to explore mechanisms underlying the association between social economic status and atopic dermatitis.

Kim BJ, et al. Association between social economic status and atopic dermatitis in Korean 스인종을기반을한연구이며일본성인을대상으로한연구에서도성별간차이가없다고보고하고있어 5) 이러한차이가인종간의차이에의한가능성을배제할수없으리라생각된다. 본연구에서고등학교졸업이상의학력을가진경우와소득수준이높은경우에아토피피부염의빈도가높은경향을보였고이는다른연구와동일한결과이나 6) 가족구성인수에따른아토피피부염의빈도는이전연구와다른결과를보였다. 6,13) 이전연구에서는가족구성원수가작은경우에아토피피부염의빈도가높았으나 6,13) 본연구에서는가족구성원수가많은경우에아토피피부염의빈도가높은경향을보였고이러한차이가서구와다른문화적, 인종적차이에의한특성때문에발생할가능성이있으나이를확인하기위해서는추가연구가필요하다. 이전보고들에서도심에거주하는경우에아토피피부염의유병률이높다고보고하고있고 14,15) 본연구에서도도심에거주하는경우에아토피피부염의빈도가높은경향을보였다. 그러나이전보고들은소아를대상으로하였으며성인에있어서거주지역차이에대한보고는거의보고되고있지않다. 흡연과알레르기질환과의연관성에대해많은연구가이루어졌으며임신시담배연기에대한노출은출생아에서천식의빈도를높이는것으로알려져있으나 16) 아토피피부염과의연관성은아직확실하지않다. 17,18) 흡연에대한노출이 IgE를증가시키고 19) 흡연이성인아토피피부염과연관이있다는있다는보고가있어 12,20) 흡연과성인아토피피부염사이에연관관계가있으리라추정될수있지만이는서구인을대상으로한연구이며본연구에서는흡연과아토피피부염사이에연관성은없었고일본인을대상으로한연구에서도흡연과아토피피부염사이에유의한연관성은없었다. 18) 본연구에서아토피피부염이있는경우에천식동반빈도가유의하게높았으며다른이전보고에서도비슷한결과를보고하였다. 6) 이전연구에서는성인습진이있는경우천식의빈도뿐아니라천식의중등도와연관이있다고하였고 6) 아토피피부염이천식발생요인으로보고하였다. 21) 비만은천식발생의위험인자로널리알려져있으나 22-24) 성인아토피피부염과비만과관련된보고는거의없다. 젊은성인여성에서아토피피부염의빈도와체질량지수사이에유의한양의상관관계를가진다고알려져있으나 25) 본연구에서는유의성을관찰할수없었다. 이론적으로는아토피피부염이있는환자의경우에말초혈관조절이상을보이는경향을보이므로 26) 고혈압가능성이있으리라추론할수있으나본연구결과에서는아토피피부염과고혈압사이에유의한상관관계가없었으며이전연구에서도유의한관계는없었다. 27) 본연구에서는당뇨병과아토피피부염의유의성을관찰할수없었으나이전소아를대상으로한연구에서는인슐린의존성당뇨 병이있는경우에아토피피부염의발생이감소한다고보고하였 다. 28) 이전보고에서인슐린의존성당뇨병은 Th1 면역질환이므로 Th2 면역질환인아토피피부염을억제한다고추론하였으나 28) 현재 에는 Th1, Th2 면역질환모두가조절 T 세포기능장애에의해발생 한다알려져있다. 29,30) 본연구의단점은첫째, 후향적단면연구로아토피피부염과사회 경제학적요인사이의인과관계를밝히기어렵고둘째, 대상자선 정에서선택삐뚤림이발생할수있으며셋째, 연구참여자의기억에 의하므로회상삐뚤림이발생할수있다. 또한아토피피부염의진단 이아토피피부염의정확한진단기준없이의사의주관에의해이 루어질수있어이또한본연구의단점으로생각된다. 그럼에도불 구하고본연구의장점은전국민을대상으로한인구기반연구이 며검사에있어서동일한방법으로표준화가시행되었다. 또한각 지역별성인아토피피부염의유병률의차이와아토피피부염의사 회경제학적특성에대한첫보고에의의가있다. 소아에서아토피피부염에대해서는국내외적으로많은연구가 이루어지고있으나국내에서성인아토피피부염에대한연구는소 아에비해부족하며성인아토피피부염의사회경제학적특성에대 한연구는아직보고되지않고있다. 본논문에서연령과천식만이 유의한성인아토피피부염위험인자로보고되고있는데이러한결 과가인종, 사회적특성에기반한것인지또는연구상의오류에의 한것인지에대해서는향후다른추가연구가필요하리라생각된다. 본논문내용을기반으로할때저자들은성인아토피피부염이있 는경우에천식의동반유무를확인하는과정이필요하리라생각 된다.
