214 Patterns of atopic eczema disease activity from birth through mid-adulthood in two British birth cohorts

The objective of this study was to identify subtypes of AD based on patterns of disease activity into mid-adulthood and to examine whether early and mid-life characteristics are associated with these subtypes. We analyzed data from the 1958 and 1970 British Cohort Studies, which are longitudinal cohort studies nationally representative of the UK population, that each follow over 17,000 of the same individuals from birth through age 42-50.
