我们试图通过使用国家统计数据调查韩国特应性皮炎（AD）的患病率。收集2003 - 2008年每年至少接受一次医疗服务的AD患者数据，来自国家健康保险公司健康保险研究小组。同一时期的估计人口数据来自韩国统计局。2008年，12-23个月的AD患病率为26.5%，6岁时大幅下降至7.6%，12岁时为3.4%，18岁时为2.4%。在男性中，患病率高于女性，直到2岁，而在2岁或以上的儿童中则相反。在24个月以下的儿童中，AD的患病率从2003年的19.8%增加到2008年的23.8%，而老年组的患病率没有增加。总之，2008年AD的患病率在婴儿期达到峰值，高达26.5%，此后下降。我们的研究结果还表明，小于24个月的儿童AD患病率的增加可能是最近韩国儿童AD患病率增加的原因。
We attempted to investigate the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in Korea by using national statistics. Data on AD patients who received medical service at least once a year from 2003 through 2008 were collected from health insurance research team of National Health Insurance Corporation. Data of estimated populations during the same period were obtained from the Statistics Korea. In 2008, the prevalence of AD was 26.5% in aged 12-23 months and decreased substantially to 7.6% at age 6 yr, 3.4% at age 12 yr and to 2.4% at age 18 yr. In males, the prevalence was higher than females until 2 yr of age, while the opposite was shown in children aged 2 yr or older. In children aged less than 24 months, the prevalence of AD has increased from 19.8% to 23.8% between the years 2003 and 2008, while the prevalence showed no increase in the older age group. In conclusion, the prevalence of AD in 2008 peaked during infancy up to 26.5% and decreased thereafter. Our findings also suggest that increasing prevalence of AD in children less than 24 months might be responsible for the recent increase in the prevalence of AD in Korean children.
