Abstract(s)
Vários estudos indicam que a dermatite atópica é uma doença inflamatória crónica da pele, reincidente e mais comum durante a infância. Afeta entre 10 a 20% da população pediátrica em Portugal e têm vindo a aumentar o número de casos nas últimas três décadas.
Uma doença multifatorial, que advém principalmente de questões genéticas, mas também ambientais. Crianças que vivem em áreas urbanas, onde a poluição é uma constante nas suas vidas, são mais propensas a desenvolver problemas inflamatórios, sendo um deles a dermatite atópica.
Esta questão leva-nos a outro problema muito comum na nossa sociedade, a despreocupação com o meio ambiente e a falta de consciência dos limites dos seus recursos, que vem a afetar, cada vez mais, as gerações vindouras. É imperativo consciencializar que todo e qualquer ato tem um grande impacto a nível ambiental, até mesmo a compra de uma peça de vestuário.
Assim, com vista a melhorar a vida das crianças que sofrem de dermatite atópica, surgiu a ideia de criar uma peça de roupa sustentável com funcionalidade acrescida.
Nesse sentido, procedeu-se ao desenvolvimento de algumas peças de vestuário infantil, exclusivamente produzida em algodão orgânico, imbuído com óleos essenciais naturais microencapsulados em ß-ciclodextrinas, com propriedades antibióticas, antisséticas e tranquilizantes, para que, durante o uso, a criança se sinta mais confortável e desta forma melhorar as condições da sua doença.
Several studies indicate that atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, recurrent and most common during childhood. It affects between 10 and 20% of the pediatric population in Portugal and the number of cases in the last three decades has increased. A multifactorial disease, which comes mainly from genetic as well as environmental issues. Children living in urban areas, where pollution is a constant in their lives, are more likely to develop inflammatory problems, one of them being atopic dermatitis. This issue leads us to another problem very common in our society, the lack of concern for the environment and the lack of awareness of the limits of its resources, which is affecting, more and more, the generations to come. It is imperative to realize that every act has a great environmental impact, even the purchase of a garment. Thus, to improve the lives of children suffering from atopic dermatitis, the idea was to create a sustainable piece of clothing with added functionality. Therefore, a few pieces of children's clothing, exclusively produced in organic cotton, imbued with natural essential oils microencapsulated in B-cyclodextrins, with antibiotic, antisepsis and tranquillizing properties, were developed, so that, during use, the child feels more comfortable and to improve the conditions of their illness.
