- Atopic Dermatitis (AD) in children and adolescents was studied for associations with early cardiovascular risk markers.
- The study used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (1991-2017), a UK population-based birth cohort.
- Participants included 9,281 children, with assessments of AD activity and severity alongside cardiovascular risk factors.
- No consistent associations were found between AD (including active and severe cases) and increased cardiovascular risk markers.
- The study concluded that systematic screening of children with AD is unlikely to help identify early cardiovascular risk.
