Lower vitamin D levels in the breast milk is associated with atopic dermatitis in early infancy

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Dec 04, 2019

Wang LC, et al. - Researchers performed this study enrolling two- to four-month-old exclusively breastfed infants, to determine the link of vitamin A and D levels in breast milk (BM) with atopic dermatitis (AD). They assessed the objective SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (objSCORAD). This study included 45 AD patients and 45 healthy controls. The AD group exhibited the objSCORAD of 20.54 ± 1.73 (shown as mean ± SEM). After adjusting for age, gender, parental atopy history, and 25-(OH) D3 level by multiple regression, they found that the objSCORAD in infancy was the only factor that was significantly related to persistent AD. Experts concluded that vitamin D levels in BM correlated negatively with objSCORAD for exclusively breastfed infants. They also inferred that lower vitamin D levels in BM might confer risk for infantile AD.
