dc.description.other-abstractChronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is marked by the appearance of transient pruritic wheals, sometimes accompanied by angioedema, without eliciting factors, and lasting over six weeks. The link between overweight/obesity and CSU remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between overweight/obesity and CSU. Conducted as a retrospective case-control study, this research assessed patients aged 18 and above, documented in the electronic medical records at the outpatient department of the Institute of Dermatology in Thailand from 2018 to 2020. The study included 382 CSU patients and 382 non-CSU controls who were categorized based on Body Mass Index (BMI) into two groups: BMI < 23 (reference group) and BMI ≥ 23 (indicating overweight/obesity). Logistic regression analysis revealed no significant association between overweight/obesity and CSU (Odds ratio = 1.03, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.37, p-value = 0.828). Notably, an elevated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) was significantly associated with the BMI ≥ 23 group (p-value = 0.036), which supported CSU and overweight/obesity that may be linked in a pathogenetic involvement in the inflammatory process. Despite these findings, no significant association was established between overweight/obesity and CSU in the Thai adult population, diverging from several previous studies but aligning with some past studies. Further study is essential to validate these findings and explore the potential relationship between overweight/obesity and CSU.en_US
