Fig 1 World maps showing prevalence of current symptoms of eczema for the age group 6 to 7 years (A) and 13 to 14 years (B). Each symbol represents a center. Blue squares indicate prevalence of less than 5%, green circles indicate prevalence of 5% to less than 10%, yellow diamonds indicate prevalence of 10% to less than 15%, and red stars indicate prevalence of 15% or more. Europe is shown in greater detail in the inset section.
