Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic disease typically accompanied by atopy and thus, a tendency to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma or food allergies. Currently, individuals with AD are classified into those presenting with AD alone and those presenting with AD along with other allergic diseases (AD+). It is important to identify the various endophenotypes of AD using anthropometric, environmental, socio-economic, and disease history data in order to improve disease management. To characterize the phenotypic differences among Singaporean Chinese individuals with AD alone and AD+, and identify the socioeconomic, lifestyle, and environmental factors associated with these different presentations. Methods: Based on data collected via a standardized/validated questionnaire, 4604 participants (mean age: 22.1 years) were classified into three groups: 1) AD alone group; 2) AD with other allergic diseases group (AD+); and 3) Control group. Results: Participants were less sensitized to common inhalant allergens in the AD alone group versus the Control group (67% vs. 72%, respectively; p 23) was associated with the disease and the difference was more pronounced in the AD alone group compared to the AD+ group (Odds Ratio: 1.38; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.4–1.67; p |
