Diverse age-incidence patterns of atopic sensitisation in an unselected Finnish population up to 12 years

The clinically observed progression of atopic diseases is often described in terms of an ‘atopic march’; from atopic eczema to respiratory allergies (allergic rhinitis and/or asthma)1-5. The incidence of atopic manifestations has previously been defined by using the first date of hospital admission for these conditions or dispensed prescription of specific medication6 or by the age at diagnoses of atopic manifestations7.
