- Background: Elderly-onset atopic dermatitis (AD) is a remarkable subtype and has been put on the agenda owing to its difficulty to control. Understanding the influence of genetic and environmental exposures is crucial to preventing elderly-onset AD. Objectives: To explore the association between genes and air pollution on incident elderly-onset AD. Material and methods: This study was based on UK Biobank that recruited over 500,000 participants. The genetic risks were categorized into low, intermediate, and high groups according to tertiles of polygenic risk scores. Mixed exposure to various air pollutants was assessed using the weighted quantile sum (WQS) and also categorized based on tertiles. Within each genetic risk group, whether air pollutant mixture was associated with incident elderly-onset AD was estimated. Results: 337,910 participants were included in the final analysis, and the mean age was 57.1. The median years for follow-up were 12.0, and the incident cases of AD were 2545. The medium and high air pollution mixture was significantly associated with incident AD compared with the low pollution group, with HRs of 1.182 (P = 0.003) and 1.359 (P < 0.001), respectively. In contrast, HR for medium and high genetic susceptibility was only 1.065 (P = 0.249) and 1.153 (P = 0.008). The population-attributable fraction of air pollution and genetic risk was 15.5 % (P < 0.001) and 6.4 % (P = 0.004). Additionally, compared with low genetic risk and low air pollution, high genetic risk and high air pollution was significantly associated with the incidence of elderly-onset AD with a HR of up to 1.523 (P < 0.001). There were no interactive effects between each group of genetic risks and air pollution. When grouped by sex, females could observe a stronger effect by genetic and air pollutant mixture exposure. Conclusion: Air pollution and genetics both independently enhance the risk of newly developed AD, and the effect of air pollutants is stronger than the investigated genes.
