Abstract
BACKGROUND
The relationship between allergic diseases (AD) and mental disorders (MD) in women has not been fully systematically evaluated. We aimed at validating this correlation.
METHODS
The relevant cohort and case-control studies from the establishment of the database to February 18, 2022 in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library were searched by computer. The researchers conducted the quality evaluation of the included articles by reviewing and discussing with reference to relevant standards, and conducted the analysis of the correlation between female patients with AD and MD by using Review Manager 5.4.
RESULTS
Six observational studies from 2631 studies (n = 1160858 women) were assessed as medium and high-quality studies. The meta-analysis demonstrated that AD was correlated with MD in female patients (OR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.14-1.29), including asthma (OR = 1.16, 95%CI: 1.11-1.22), allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.31, 95%CI: 1.06-1.63), and atopic dermatitis in women (OR = 1.37, 95%CI: 1.24-1.50) were associated with MD. At the same time, subgroup analysis was performed according to region, study design, criteria of AD and MD, and the results demonstrated that both AD and MD were correlated in these different conditions.
CONCLUSION
Allergic diseases in female patients do have an association with mental disorders.
