简要总结
Skin diseases contributed about 2% of the global burden of diseases measured in Disease Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) (1). The prevention and management of skin diseases received less attention in the past decades due to low mortality rates. However, a recent Global Burden of Disease Study finding revealed that skin diseases rank 18 in top 20 diseases in terms of DALYs and is fourth leading cause of nonfatal disease burden (2). Further, skin diseases increase clinical depression and anxiety. The prevalence and pattern of skin diseases are influenced by the overall ecosystem of the region including sociocultural milieu, topography, nutrition, genetics etc.
In India, skin diseases have been profiled through hospital-based studies with low levels of prevalence (3-7) as compared to community-level. The prevalence varied from 4.2% to 11.6% in the general population. However, high prevalence has been reported (30%–40%) in pediatric population (8, 9) and 60% in a community-based survey in the central India (10). There is a dearth of data about prevalence in skin diseases among semi-urban/rural communities in Telangana.
