Predictors of hyperhidrosis were male gender and concomitant drug medication. Moreover, persons with psoriasis and with metabolic comorbidity were at increased risk. Only 27% of those with focal hyperhidrosis had consulted a physician, and only 28% used prescribed medication or self-medication. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Hyperhidrosis is a frequent skin condition predicted by medical and personal factors. In spite of the disease burden, few individuals utilize medical care. Affected individuals should be encouraged to refer to a dermatologist.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000351292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,27]],"date-time":"2013-08-27T07:19:13Z","timestamp":1377587953000},"page":"10-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Prevalence and Disease Burden of Hyperhidrosis in the Adult Population"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"227","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Augustin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"Radtke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Herberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Kornek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Heigel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Schaefer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2003.12.029"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2002.05059.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.03.013"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2007.07917.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2004.06334.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1059712310392389"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04173.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/11587870-000000000-00000"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/11630020-000000000-00000"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10436.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000319862"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000136656"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1610-0387.2007.06409.x"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/351292","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/351292","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:25:38Z","timestamp":1745432738000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000351292"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000351292","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
