Popis: Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a common skin disease in dogs. Various pathogenic factors contribute to CAD, with dust mites, environmental pathogens, and other substances being predominant. This research involved comprehensive statistical analysis and prediction of CAD in China, using data from 14 cities. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was developed to evaluate the impact of environmental factors on CAD incidence. Additionally, a seasonal auto-regressive moving average (ARIMA) model was used to forecast the monthly number of CAD cases. The findings indicated that CAD mainly occurs during June, July, August, and September in China. There was a positive correlation found between CAD incidence and temperature and humidity, while a negative correlation was observed with CO, PM2.5, and other pollutants.
