Method 1045 children who participated in the birth cohort study, Protection Against Allergy-Study in Rural Environments (PASTURE), were included in the current study. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis were reported by parents from birth to 6 years of age by yearly questionnaires and defined as an intermittent or persistent itchy rash on typical locations. We used longitudinal latent class analysis (LCA) to identify different phenotypes of atopic dermatitis symptoms in childhood based on the first 6 years of life.
