While AD is recognised as a common chronic inflammatory condition, its association with fibromyalgia remains under investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To investigate the association between AD and subsequent fibromyalgia risk, and to examine how this relationship varies across different age groups and AD severity levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a nationwide cohort study, including 4,147 patients with AD aged \u226510 years without psychiatric history and 41,470 age- and sex-matched controls from 1995 to 2010.

The risk was highest in patients under 20 years old (HR: 13.59, 95% CI: 6.85-26.97), followed by those aged 20-59 years (HR: 6.31, 95% CI: 4.4-9.03), and lowest in patients over 60 years (HR: 3.89, 95% CI: 1.64-9.19). The severity of AD also influenced risk, with higher severity associated with a greater likelihood of fibromyalgia (mild AD HR: 6.97, 95% CI: 5.1-9.53; moderate-to-severe AD HR: 7.72, 95% CI: 4.18-14.27).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was limited by potential underestimation of fibromyalgia cases, lack of detailed clinical information due to ICD-9-CM code-based identification, and absence of data on important confounding factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates a significant association between AD and increased fibromyalgia risk, with younger age and greater disease severity correlating with higher risk.
