Dietary Intervention on Atopy
Diet is a key determinant of overall health, with growing evidence associating dietary patterns with allergic diseases. Among these, atopic dermatitis (AD) is of particular interest as it often represents the earliest manifestation of the atopic triad. Investigating dietary interventions in AD therefore provides a relevant model to better understand how diet may influence the onset and progression of allergic disease more broadly.
