    Abstract Population studies suggest that atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk of obesity, however a causal relationship between these two conditions remains to be established. We therefore use Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate whether obesity and AD are causally interlinked. We used summary statistics extracted from genome wide association studies of Body Mass Index (BMI) and AD. MR analysis was performed in both directions to establish the direction of causality between BMI and AD. We find that genetically determined increase in adiposity is associated with increased risk of AD (odds ratio of AD 1.08 [95% CI 1.01 to 1.14; p = 0.015] per unit increase in BMI). Conversely, genetically determined increased risk of AD is not associated with a higher BMI (change in BMI attributable to AD based on genetic information: 0.00; 95% CI - 0.02 to 0.02; p = 0.862). There was no evidence for confounding of these genetic analyses by horizontal pleiotropy. Our results indicate that the association of AD with obesity is likely to reflect a causal role for adiposity in the development of AD. Our findings enhance understanding of the etiology of AD, and the basis for experimental studies to evaluate the mechanistic pathways by which adiposity promotes AD.

    Abstract Background: Skin diseases impact significantly on the quality of life and psychology of patients. Obesity has been observed as a risk factor for skin diseases. Skin epidermal barrier dysfunctions are typical manifestations across several dermatological disturbances.
    Objectives: We aim to establish the association between obesity and skin physiology measurements and investigate whether obesity may play a possible causal role on skin barrier dysfunction.
    Methods: We investigated the relationship of obesity with skin physiology measurements, namely transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin surface moisture and skin pH in an Asian population cohort (n = 9990). To assess for a possible causal association between body mass index (BMI) and skin physiology measurements, we performed Mendelian Randomization (MR), along with subsequent additional analyses to assess the potential causal impact of known socioeconomic and comorbidities of obesity on TEWL.
    Results: Every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI was associated with a 0.221% (95%CI: 0.144-0.298) increase in TEWL (P = 2.82E-08), a 0.336% (95%CI: 0.148-0.524) decrease in skin moisture (P = 4.66E-04) and a 0.184% (95%CI: 0.144-0.224) decrease in pH (P = 1.36E-19), adjusting for age, gender, and ethnicity. Relationships for both TEWL and pH with BMI remained strong (Beta 0.354; 95%CI: 0.189-0.520 and Beta -0.170; 95%CI: -0.253 to -0.087, respectively) even after adjusting for known confounders, with MR experiments further supporting BMI's possible causal relationship with TEWL. Based on additional MR performed, none of the socioeconomic and comorbidities of obesity investigated are likely to have possible causal relationships with TEWL.
    Conclusion: We establish strong association of BMI with TEWL and skin pH, with MR results suggestive of a possible causal relationship of obesity with TEWL. It emphasizes the potential impact of obesity on skin barrier function and therefore opportunity for primary prevention.
