Purpose: Atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) are associated with respiratory comorbidities, in the concept of ‘atopic march.’ However, children with AD and a coexisting FA have various disease courses, and the mechanism of atopic march remains unclear. In this study, we investigated whether the phenotype of AD with coexisting FA in early life affected asthma or allergic rhinitis (AR) in school children.
Methods: A total of 1,579 children from the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC) cohort were followed-up in 2013. The participants diagnosed with AD in this cohort were classified by the age of AD onset and persistence as well as FA history. We compared the presence of comorbidities?asthma and rhinitis?among different AD phenotypes.
Results: Asthma and AR with current symptoms within 12 months at age 6?8 years were associated with early-onset persistent AD phenotype, regardless of coexisting FA. AD with FA conferred a higher risk of recent wheezing at 8 years of age than AD without FA (adjusted odds ratio, 8.09; 95% confidence interval, 2.54?25.76). Children with early-onset persistent AD with FA manifested a distinctive trajectory with a higher prevalence of wheezing and AR at age 5?8 years than those without AD.
Conclusions: AD with FA in early life is strongly associated with asthma and AR in school children, and the early-onset persistent AD with FA had a strong additive effect on the risk of asthma at school age. Classifying AD phenotypes regarding FA in early life will help predict and prevent asthma and AR in school children.
