AD: atopic dermatitis, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval. *Percentages (standard errors) are calculated based on weighted data to better represent the study population. †p-values were calculated using the Rao–Scott chi-square test. ‡Adjusted for occupation and region. §p-values for adjusted odds ratios. ∥Significant p-values.
