The incidence and prevalence of AD in Asian countries, such as China and Korea, where there are high-PM2.5 areas, are similar to those of European ancestry despite FLG mutations being more uncommon in Chinese and Korean ancestry.
“Furthermore, the incidence and the prevalence of AD in Asian countries, such as China and Korea, where there are high-PM2.5 areas, are similar to those of European ancestry despite FLG mutations being more uncommon in Chinese and Korean ancestry (20, 67, 73, 74).”

The main text (page not specified) says Korean children have a lower frequency of FLG mutations than European populations and reports AD prevalence in Korean children. It does not compare AD incidence or prevalence between Asian and European-ancestry populations, or address China or high-PM2.5 areas. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe prevalence of AD in South Korea is nearly 30% compared with less than 20% in the United States.
“It is noteworthy that the prevalence of AD in South Korea is nearly 30% compared with less than 20% in the United States (67, 68).”
From Particulate matter causes skin barrier dysfunction. (2021) · cites this paper as [67]
The section on the 2010 Korean nationwide survey reports 27.0% lifetime prevalence of itchy eczema among children aged 6–7, which supports a nearly 30% figure for that specific group and measure. It does not give a U.S. prevalence or make the claimed South Korea–U.S. comparison. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
