Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze temporal and spatial variations of atopic dermatitis and to identify major factors. Data utilized in the study were collected by the Community Health Survey, KOSIS and so and on from 2009 to 2013. This study was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Geographically weighted regression model. As a result, regional diagnosis rate of atopic dermatitis was increased by 5 years, and difference related to geographic location was so large. The regional characteristics that contribute to the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis were as follows: older adults population ratio, ratio of basic living security received people, depression experience rate, high risk drinking rate, number of wastewater discharge business, number of tobacco retail business, number of fast food restaurant business. This study is meaningful in that it provided basic data on health policy direction and provided information on prioritization of health business in each region.
