Abstract EN
Atopic dermatitis (AD) prevalence is rising worldwide.
Literature data suggest the incidence of AD in developing countries is gradually getting close to that of developed ones, in which AD affects 20% of the paediatric population.
Such an increment, associated with significant variations in prevalence among the various countries, underlines the importance of environmental factors in the disease onset.
Among these, great importance is given to hygiene, intestinal microbiota, exposure to bacterial endotoxins, outdoor living with contact to animals, atmospheric pollution, weather, and diet.
Genetic (alteration of the skin barrier function) as well as immunologic factors concur with the environmental ones.
Only the systematical study of all these elements can best elucidate AD epidemiology.
