Dietary Intervention on Atopy
Dietary habits play an indispensable role in maintaining overall health and well-being. In recent years, emerging research has underscored the importance of dietary factors on a range of diseases which include allergic (atopic) diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Conducting a dietary intervention study related to AD can provide valuable insights into the relationship between diet and the development or management of this particular allergic skin condition.
