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.
