Overview
- Researchers analyzed data from over 215,000 participants in the UK Biobank study.
- Each additional gram of sodium intake was associated with a 22% increase in eczema flare-ups.
- High sodium levels in urine were linked to an 11% higher risk of severe eczema.
- The study suggests reducing dietary sodium as a potential low-risk intervention for managing eczema.
- Findings were published in JAMA Dermatology and call for further research on sodium's role in eczema.
