Posted: Thursday, December 11, 2014, 4:00 AM (HealthDay News) -- The skin disease eczema doesn't increase the risk of being short, researchers report. "Childhood eczema is not associated with short stature overall, although severe disease with prominent sleep disturbance is associated with higher odds of short stature in early adolescence," the Northwestern University researchers wrote. Previously, there have been conflicting results in studies looking for a possible link between eczema and height, they said. The current analysis looked at nine past studies. Those studies included almost 265,000 children and teens and more than 80,000 adults, according to the researchers. Overall, the analysis showed that eczema was not associated with significant differences in height. However, a very small number of youngsters with severe eczema who did not get enough sleep appeared to be at increased risk for slower growth. These children had three or fewer nights of sufficient sleep a week, according to the study. And the researchers also found that this link was significant only at ages 10 to 11, which suggests that this growth impairment may be reversible. "Future studies are warranted to better characterize sleep disturbances and other risk factors and mechanisms of growth impairment in eczema and … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 10-Dec-2014 Contact: Marla Paul marla-paul@northwestern.edu 312-503-8928 The JAMA Network Journals @JAMA_current Eczema, an itchy chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, was not associated overall with short stature in an analysis of data from several studies, although a small group of children and adolescents with severe eczema who do not get enough sleep may have potentially reversible growth impairment, according to a study published online by JAMA Dermatology. Eczema (atopic dermatitis) affects about 10 percent of children and adults in the United States. The disease results in a number of conditions that could impact growth in children and adolescents, such as sleep impairment, chronic inflammation and treatment with systemic corticosteroids. However, there have been conflicting results in studies about a possible association between eczema and short stature, according to background in the study. Jonathan I. Silverberg, M.D., Ph.D, and Amy S. Paller, M.D., M.S., of Northwestern University, Chicago, used data from nine population-based studies to examine a possible association between eczema and being short. The data included 264,326 children and adolescents and 83,511 adults. An analysis of the studies indicates that, overall, eczema was not associated with significant differences of height in any of the studies or in … Continue reading →
