| Background
of Atopic Dermatitis (our theory) |
>>> HOME |
 -
As shown in the above figures, the manifestation of a
disease occurs from a combination of two factors, individual conditions
and environmental changes. For example, congenital diseases can occur
without any environmental influence, whereas external injuries can
occur regardless of an individual's health. It is possible to place
general diseases (common colds or geriatric diseases) between these
extremes.
- On the other hand, individual diseases occur
in a disposition- environment relationship. The manifestation of a
disease can occur less by environmental factors in those with more
dispositional factors, whereas those with less dispositional factors
are more influenced by environmental factors. With respect to atopic
dermatitis, only a handful of people with atopic disposition had this
disease before. However, I believe those with little disposition nowadays
develop this disease as a result of the deteriorating environment.
This explains why dermatitis is very difficult to cure and why many
adults are now developing this disease.
- Now, let's look at which specific environmental
changes related to this disease. |
