Prevalence and Characteristics of Chronic Hand Eczema Among Adults in Denmark: A General Population‐Based Study

The standardised prevalence was 3.5% (95% CI, 3.3%-3.6%) and 4.2% (95% CI, 4.0%-4.4%) for CHE and HE, respectively. We identified a large overlap between HE and CHE (81.4%) in adults from the general population, indicating that many individuals affected by eczema on the hands may experience a chronic course.
