Abstract：
Background In the past decade, there has been growing interest in identifying the relationship between nutritional status and acne. Many dietary factors have been studied, including milk, fast food, and chocolate. However, nutritional anemia, which is a common problem in young individuals, has not been well investigated. Objectives The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between acne and nutritional anemia among people in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia. Methods This study used a case-control design. It targeted people aged from 15 to 25 years old in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia. This study was conducted using a database of Electronic Health Records (EHR) data from the Qassim University outpatient department (OPD). Data analysis was conducted by using SPSS (IBM Inc., Armonk, New York). Results A total of 114 of the study population were involved in this study. The acne group represented was identical to the control group. The mean age of study participants was 23.1 ± 4.19 years old, and the majority of them were females (86%). Moreover, the patient group had relatively lower levels of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), vitamin B12, ferritin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and hemoglobin than the control group without any significant correlation, whereas the patient group had higher levels of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and red cell distribution width (RDW) without significant difference. Our results showed that the prevalence of anemia among respondents was 17.5%, and a higher prevalence of anemia was observed in the control group without significant differences. Furthermore, the patient group had a significantly higher prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency (38.6%) than the control group (p=0.041). Conclusion Our results concluded that patients with acne vulgaris in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia had a significantly higher rate of vitamin B12 deficiency. Additional studies are needed to confirm this association.
摘要：
背景在过去的十年里,人们对确定营养状况与痤疮之间的关系越来越感兴趣。已经研究了许多饮食因素，包括牛奶,快餐,还有巧克力.然而,营养性贫血,这是年轻人普遍存在的问题，没有得到很好的调查。目的本研究的目的是确定沙特阿拉伯Qassim地区人群中痤疮与营养性贫血之间的关系。方法本研究采用病例对照设计。它针对沙特阿拉伯Qassim地区15至25岁的人群。这项研究是使用来自Qassim大学门诊部（OPD）的电子健康记录（EHR）数据数据库进行的。数据分析采用SPSS(IBMInc.，Armonk,纽约）。结果本研究共涉及114名研究人群。代表的痤疮组与对照组相同。研究参与者的平均年龄为23.1±4.19岁，其中大多数是女性(86%)。此外，患者组的平均红细胞体积（MCV）水平相对较低，维生素B12，铁蛋白，平均红细胞血红蛋白（MCH），和血红蛋白比对照组无明显相关性,而患者组的平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度（MCHC）和红细胞分布宽度（RDW）水平较高，无明显差异。我们的结果显示，受访者的贫血患病率为17.5%，对照组贫血患病率较高，无显著差异。此外，患者组维生素B12缺乏的患病率(38.6%)明显高于对照组(p=0.041).结论我们的结果得出结论，沙特阿拉伯Qassim地区的寻常痤疮患者维生素B12缺乏率明显更高。需要更多的研究来证实这种关联。
