Abstract

Recent studies have shown that in several countries atopic sensitization to common allergens (common atopy) and atopic symptoms are markedly less prevalent in children living on a farm, compared with non-farm children living in the same rural areas. Living conditions on farms may, however, vary largely between different countries. It is also not yet known whether the "protective" effect of a farm environment can also be found in adults. Common atopy and respiratory health were assessed by skin prick tests (SPT), questionnaire and measurement of bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) in the Sund Stald (SUS) study, a cohort study on respiratory health in Danish farming students and conscripts from the same rural areas as controls. Results of SPT were confirmed by IgE serology in all SPT+ subjects and a subset of SPT- subjects. Prevalences of common atopy, respiratory symptoms and bronchial hyper- responsiveness were compared for farmers and controls, and for those who had or had not lived on a farm in early childhood. In multiple logistic regression analyses adjusting for ever smoking and a familial history of allergy, both being a farmer (ORs 0.62-0.75) and having had a farm childhood (ORs 0.55-0.75) appeared to contribute indepen...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
