Study finds correlation between high salt intake and atopic dermatitis

A higher intake of salt - as measured by the concentration of sodium in urine - is associated with an increased likelihood of atopic dermatitis, says a study published in JAMA Dermatology. The researchers used data on the amount of sodium in urine samples from more than 215,000 people in the UK, collected in a previous study. The authors suggest that restricting salt intake "may be a cost-effective and low-risk intervention" for this skin disease.
