Overview
Eczema has been noted to have affected 1-3% of the adult population and 15-20% of the children population worldwide. [1][2] In the United States, prevalence is 10.7% in children, and 7.2% in adults. [3][4] Eczema is more commonly observed in males, particularly in those with severe cases, and has a late onset.[5]
Eczema Epidemiology and Demographics
- Eczema has been noted to have affected 1-3% of the adult population and 15-20% of the children population worldwide.
- In the United States, the prevalence is 10.7% in children and 7.2% in adults.
- Eczema is more commonly observed in males, particularly in those with severe cases, and has a late-onset.
- Onset of disease is usually at age 5 years, and a peak incidence at age 3-6 months.[2][5]
- A recent study showed that persistence of disease 8 years from the onset is noted in 20% of children.[6]
