July 2025
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) and its associated risk factors in Korean children in 2022, and to compare to our findings with previous results to identify changes or trends over time.
Methods: A nationwide, cross-sectional study of randomly selected schoolchildren aged 6-7, 9-10, and 12-13 years, respectively, was completed. Information was obtained through the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire, and comparisons between the current and prior surveys performed in 1995, 2000, and 2010 were conducted using a trend test.

Purpose: We investigated the prevalence of asthma and its risk factors in Korean children in 2022, comparing the prevalence with previous data to identify trends in the prevalence of childhood asthma over time.
Methods: This nationwide cross-sectional study enrolled 4,038 children aged 6-7 years and 4,269 children aged 12-13 years from 213 randomly selected elementary schools in 2022. The prevalence of asthma in 2022 was compared with those in 1995, 2000, and 2010, with subgroup comparisons classified by gender.
Article Synopsis
- Early childhood obesity is linked to future obesity in adolescents and adults, but research on specific eating behaviors affecting obesity in 3-5-year-olds is limited.
- A study conducted in Korea analyzed obesity trends and risk factors in preschoolers using logistic regression based on NHSPIC data.
- Key findings indicate that consuming sweetened beverages significantly impacts obesity risk, with children who are obese at age 4 more likely to remain obese by age 5 than those who were obese only at age 3.
