Atopic dermatitis and risk of hypertension, type-2 diabetes, myocardial infarction and stroke in a cross-sectional analysis from the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project.

Given our findings and the conflicting literature, AD is likely not a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
