Acne vulgaris is a common adolescent disorder but the data related to acne vulgaris is insufficient in Albania. The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiologic features of acne vulgaris and to identify lifestyle and constitutional factors in formulating a proper management protocol. A cross-sectional study conducted on a representative sample of 2036 adolescents from 10 high schools located in Tirana. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to collect the data. The binary logistic regression was applied to assess the factors linked to the presence of acne vulgaris in adolescents. The mean age in the study population was 16.2 ± 0.9 years. The self-reported prevalence of acne was 50.3% (52.1% in females and 47.9% in males). Lifetime prevalence was 68.5%. The factors significantly associated with an increased likelihood over time were: frequent consumption of sweets, frequent endurance of stress, poor quality of sleep, positive family history of acne, oily and combination skin, menstrual disorders. Acne vulgaris is common among adolescents in our country. The identification of various modifiable factors related to acne generates opportunities to tailor and focus prevention efforts and better management and treatment planning in relevant high-risk groups.
寻常痤疮是一种常见的青少年疾病，但阿尔巴尼亚有关寻常痤疮的数据不足。本研究的目的是评估寻常痤疮的流行病学特征，并确定在制定适当管理方案时的生活方式和体质因素。对来自地拉那10所高中的2036名青少年的代表性样本进行了横断面研究。采用自行填写的问卷收集数据。应用二元逻辑回归评估与青少年寻常痤疮存在相关的因素。研究人群的平均年龄为16.2±0.9岁。自我报告的痤疮患病率为50.3%（女性为52.1%，男性为47.9%）。终生患病率为68.5%。随着时间推移，与患病可能性增加显著相关的因素有：经常食用甜食、经常承受压力、睡眠质量差、痤疮家族史阳性、油性和混合性皮肤、月经紊乱。寻常痤疮在我国青少年中很常见。识别与痤疮相关的各种可改变因素，为在相关高危人群中调整和集中预防措施以及更好地进行管理和治疗规划创造了机会。
