Abstrakt: A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology examined the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and cognitive function among males in Sweden. The study found that contrary to previous beliefs, AD was actually associated with poorer cognitive function. The researchers used a sibling-comparison model to control for familial environmental confounding and genetic influences. The study suggests that even a modest reduction in cognitive function may be associated with increased risks of other adverse psychological outcomes. The findings highlight the potential adverse influence of AD on cognitive development. [Extracted from the article]
