One thought here, it’s my understanding that some of the medications for these increase the risks. I grew up with pretty bad asthma and had to take prednisone for a while and I know I was told prednisone can increase this risk. I don’t know if prednisone specifically is prescribed for eczema but I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar was since both are autoimmune.
So I’m wondering if it’s due to medications that are used for these conditions that’s causing this

Reply to The risk of developing osteoarthritis, a common, incurable form of the condition, was 58% higher among those with eczema or asthma compared to the general population. Those with both asthma and eczema were twice as likely to develop osteoarthritis compared to the general population. N = 100,000+ by MistWeaver80
