Prevalence of tattoos is around 10-26% in men and 10-22% in women, and can involve negative effects such as: regret, removal attempts, physical and biological changes of the skin and association with some viral diseases.
to determine the prevalence, characteristics and factors associated with tattoos in recruiters joining the military.
the recruiters were examined by dermatologists that documented the presence or absence of tattoos, as well as their sizes, colors, designs and patterns, and whether they needed a parent's consent to get a tattoo.
1,968 recruiters were examined and the prevalence of tattoos was 10.82% (213), 141 (66.20%) had a single tattoo, 44 (20.66%) two tattoos, 15 (7.04%) three tattoos, 9 (4.23%) four tattoos, and 4 (1.88%) had more than four. Of the total sample, 168 (80.77%) reported getting the first tattoo before the age of 18. 158 (74.53%) were monochromatic. In relation to size, 108 (50.70%) had tattoos of up to 10 cm, 75 (35.21%) had tattoos measuring between 11-20 cm, while 30 had ones over 21 cm (14.09%).
The population studied had a high prevalence of tattoos for their age, the percentage of complex (large and polychromatic) tattoos was also high.
纹身的患病率在男性中约为10%-26%,在女性中约为10%-22%,并且可能涉及一些负面影响,如后悔、去除纹身的尝试、皮肤的物理和生物学变化以及与某些病毒性疾病的关联。
确定参军新兵中纹身的患病率、特征及相关因素。
由皮肤科医生对新兵进行检查,记录纹身的有无、大小、颜色、图案及样式,以及是否需要父母同意才能纹身。
共检查了1968名新兵,纹身患病率为10.82%(213人),其中141人(66.20%)有一处纹身,44人(20.66%)有两处纹身,15人(7.04%)有三处纹身,9人(4.23%)有四处纹身,4人(1.88%)有四处以上纹身。在总样本中,168人(80.77%)报告首次纹身是在18岁之前。158人(74.53%)的纹身是单色的。在纹身尺寸方面,108人(50.70%)的纹身长度不超过10厘米,75人(35.21%)的纹身长度在11至20厘米之间,30人(14.09%)的纹身长度超过21厘米。
在所研究的人群中,纹身患病率相对较高,复杂(大尺寸且多色)纹身的比例也较高。
