Patients diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD) are not at a major risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, type-2 diabetes, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke, according to a recent study by Drucker and colleagues.1
To determine the associations of AD with cardiovascular diseases, the researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project. The analysis examined 259,119 patients aged 30-74 years. Excluded from the analysis were patients with incomplete data on AD, hypertension, type-2 diabetes, MI or stroke, patients who had type-1 or gestational diabetes or who developed any of the outcomes at an age prior to a diagnosis of AD. The researchers used logistic regression to calculate age and sex- and multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between AD and subsequent hypertension, type-2 diabetes, MI, and stroke.

Of the participating patients, 21,379 (8.4%) reported AD. According to the study findings a total of 52,787 cases of hypertension, 12,739 cases of T2D, 4,390 cases of MI, and 2,235 cases of stroke were reported by participants at enrollment. Based on the multivariable-adjusted model, AD was associated with decreased odds (OR, 95% CI) of hypertension (0.87, 0.83-0.90), type-2 diabetes (0.78, 0.71-0.84), MI (0.87, 0.75-1.00), and stroke (0.79, 0.66-0.95).
