背景:寻常痤疮是世界上最普遍的炎症性疾病之一,主要影响青少年。其患病率和影响因素因地区和人群而异。遗传易感性,荷尔蒙的影响,饮食习惯,生活方式的选择,和环境因素被认为是重要的贡献者。
方法:这是一项横断面研究,涉及来自Jazan地区的419名参与者,沙特阿拉伯。这项研究采用了非概率便利抽样技术。通过在线问卷调查收集数据,并使用统计产品和服务解决方案(SPSS,版本27;IBMSPSSStatisticsforWindows,Armonk,NY).
结果:研究发现痤疮患病率很高,影响了一半以上(66.8%)的参与者,轻度严重程度报告为51.8%。粉刺最常见于面部(65.2%),其次是背部(45.3%)和胸部(29.6%)。油性皮肤的参与者患痤疮的可能性是干性皮肤的两倍(OR=2.14)。年龄增长与痤疮风险每年降低5%相关。发现年龄显著相关(p=0.010),女性(p=0.017),和油性皮肤(p<0.001)与痤疮的发展。
结论:该研究发现,在Jazan地区的年轻人群中,寻常痤疮的患病率很高,沙特阿拉伯。年龄,女性性别,油性皮肤是寻常痤疮的预测因素。诸如痤疮疤痕之类的并发症和诸如害羞之类的心理影响强调了痤疮对社会和心理健康的重大负担。加强治疗和提高生活质量需要加强对寻常痤疮的认识运动,其治疗,和相关的并发症,正如研究所揭示的那样。
BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris is one of the most prevalent inflammatory conditions in the world that primarily affects teenagers. Its prevalence and the contributing factors vary across different regions and populations. Genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors are believed to be significant contributors.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving 419 participants from the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. The study employed non-probability convenience sampling techniques. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS, version 27; IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY).
RESULTS: The study found that acne prevalence was high, affecting more than half (66.8%) of the participants, with mild severity reported by 51.8%. Pimples were most commonly found on the face (65.2%), followed by the back (45.3%) and chest (29.6%). Participants with oily skin had twice the likelihood of acne compared to those with dry skin (OR=2.14). Increasing age was associated with a 5% decrease in acne risk per year. Significant associations were found for age (p=0.010), female gender (p=0.017), and oily skin (p<0.001) with acne development.
CONCLUSIONS: The study found a high prevalence rate of acne vulgaris among the young population in the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. Age, female gender, and having oily skin were predictors for developing acne vulgaris. Complications such as acne scarring and psychological impacts such as shyness underscore the significant burden of acne on social and psychological well-being. Enhanced treatment and improved quality of life necessitate heightened awareness campaigns concerning acne vulgaris, its treatments, and associated complications, as revealed by the study.
