Key clinical point: Children diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD) within the first 10 years of life are more likely to develop a more proinflammatory dietary pattern and consume less fiber and several vitamins, which may worsen the atopic outcome itself.
Major finding: The intake of fiber ( P = .04), vitamin C ( P = .02), vitamin E ( P = .03), and vitamin B 7 (biotin) ( P = .047) were significantly lower among children who developed vs did not develop AD in the first 10 years of life, with a significant association observed between presence of AD and a proinflammatory dietary pattern at 10 years of age (odds ratio 2.22; P = .02).
Study details: Findings are from the population-based LiNA cohort study including 211 10-year-old children.
