What is it about?
Using registry data, we included a total of 205,394 men born between 1952 and 1956 in Sweden who underwent military conscription examination including assessment of atopic dermatitis (AD) and AD severity. We examined the association between AD and AD severity in late adolescence and labour-market participation, income from work, marital status, and medication for anxiety and depression later in adult life. In this study, men with AD in adolescence, especially those with severe AD, more often had a prescription for antidepressants or anxiolytics at the age of 50–57 years. Despite this, AD was not found to be associated with a disadvantage in terms of occupational socioeconomic group, income from work, and unemployment benefits.
