Exploring the Interplay: Obesity, Lipid Metabolism, and Clinical Manifestations in Atopic Dermatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The interest toward the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and obesity is increasing, yet the possibility of abnormal lipid metabolism has never been investigated before.

Objective

To identify the characteristics of patients with AD who are obese and analyze the serum lipid profiles of these patients.

Methods

This observational study included 167 patients diagnosed with AD and underwent evaluations for serum lipid panels between July 2017 and October 2017. The patients' body mass index was used to determine obesity and the serum lipid panels were analyzed between patients who are obese and non-obese. Also, the disease severity and subjective symptoms were evaluated and serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgE levels were assessed.
