[의학신문·일간보사=이상만 기자] Although studies have recently been published that adult patients with atopic dermatitis are at higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures, a study on Koreans showed that the current or past prevalence of atopic dermatitis does not significantly reduce bone density clinically..
However, if the duration of atopic dermatitis is long or, BMIthe lower the, In women, late menstruation or more pregnancy were found to be associated with lower bone density in the atopic patient group..
These results were carried out by Kim Soo-young, a professor of dermatology at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, and Kim Kyung-jin, a professor in the Department of Endocrinology at Korea University Anam Hospital. 2007from year 2009A comparative study of bone density in atopic patients and healthy controls was revealed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey up to 2016..
the research team 19aged over 50For male and female adult atopic patients under the age of the same age and gender, body mass index(BMI), vitaminD shame, Normal drinking and smoking status 5by matching multiples1:5 A trend score weighted analysis was performed..
311with atopic patients 8,972As a result of analyzing the control group, the lumbar spine bone density was significantly lower in the male atopic patient group than the control group, but it was not considered a clinically meaningful value within the error range reported in the existing literature.. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of low bone density in both male and female atopic patients and controls..
However, the more atopic dermatitis is diagnosed at a young age, the more, The longer the illness, BMIthe lower the, In particular, in the case of women, it was confirmed that the late menarche or the higher the number of pregnancies, the lower the bone density in the atopic patient group..
Professor Sooyoung Kim “It was confirmed that the current or past prevalence of atopic dermatitis did not significantly decrease bone density clinically.”as “but, Have suffered from atopic dermatitis for a long time, Female adult atopic patients who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth need special attention to bone health”advised.
