Association of Birth Weight, Childhood Body Mass Index, and Height With Risk of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Association of Birth Weight, Childhood Body Mass Index, and Height With Risk of Hidradenitis... Key PointsQuestionIs there an association of birth weight, childhood body mass index, change in body mass index during childhood, and childhood height with subsequent risk of hidradenitis suppurativa in adulthood? FindingsThis cohort study of 347 200 Danish children found that both the lightest and heaviest infants had increased risks of hidradenitis suppurativa. Childhood body mass index was positively associated with the risk of hidradenitis suppurativa development in adulthood; returning to normal weight before puberty reduced the risks of hidradenitis suppurativa to levels observed in children who were never overweight.

Abstract

Key PointsQuestionIs there an association of birth weight, childhood body mass index, change in body mass index during childhood, and childhood height with subsequent risk of hidradenitis suppurativa in adulthood? FindingsThis cohort study of 347 200 Danish children found that both the lightest and heaviest infants had increased risks of hidradenitis suppurativa. Childhood body mass index was positively associated with the risk of hidradenitis suppurativa development in adulthood; returning to normal weight before puberty reduced the risks of hidradenitis suppurativa to levels observed in children who were never overweight. MeaningEarly body weight monitoring provides the opportunity to implement preventive measures aimed at reducing body mass index and development of hidradenitis suppurativa.
