    Besednjak-Kocijančič, Lilijana, dr. med.
    Background. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most frequent inflammatory disease of the skin in the childhood. The prevalence of AD, overweight and obesity in Slovenia continue to rise. An association ... between asthma and overweight/obesity was observed in girls, but a similar association between ADand overweight/obesity hasn't been confirmed yet. The aim of the study was to confirm the association between overweight/obesity and AD in two to sixteenyears old children. Methods. 2240 children were included in this prospective study. A pediatrician visited them in pediatric dispensary of Health Centre Šempeter between 1st Jan. 2001 and 31st Dec. 2001. 751 children breastfed for 4 or more months and with normal parental body mass index (BMI) were selected for this study. Children were divided in three groups related totheir BML: group A-normal weight children, group B-overweight and group C-obese children. Physician's diagnosis of AD was ascertained with the ISAAC core, positive skin prick tests and elevated specific IgE. Chi-square testing was used to asses significant differences in the prevalence of AD in overweight and obese compared to normal weight children. Results. 5.2% of children from group A had AD, 23.3% from group B and 32.7% from group C. A significant effect of overweight and obesity on AD was found (P < 0.001, Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test, Epi. Info, version 6.05.) Conclusions. This study confirmed a strong association between an atopic dermatitis and overweight/obesity in two to sixteen years old children. The causes of this association are unclear and the association maybe related to factors other than atopy.
