To analyse the association of body mass index and sleep quality with severity of acne.
The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dermatology Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from January to March 2019, and comprised acne patients of either gender aged 12-45 years. Data was collected using a pre-designed questionnaire. Acne grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 were determined by a consultant dermatologist. Pittsburgh sleep quality index was used to assess sleep quality, while body mass index was calculated as per the standard procedure. Data was analyzed using SPSS 22.
Of the 98 patients, 27(27.6%) were male and 71(72.4%) were female. The overall mean age of the sample was 22.3±4.9 years. There were 36(36.7%) patients with acne grade 3, followed by 25(25.5%) each with grades 1 and 2, and 12(12.2%) with grade 4. The relationship between body mass index and acne severity was not significant (p=0.07), and the same was the case with sleep quality (p=0.09).
Body mass index and sleep quality were not found to be associated with acne severity.
分析体重指数和睡眠质量与痤疮严重程度的关系。
本横断面研究于 2019 年 1 月至 3 月在巴基斯坦拉合尔的 Mayo 医院皮肤科进行,纳入年龄在 12-45 岁的男女痤疮患者。使用预先设计的问卷收集数据。由顾问皮肤科医生确定痤疮等级 1、2、3 和 4。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评估睡眠质量,而体重指数则按照标准程序计算。使用 SPSS 22 进行数据分析。
98 名患者中,27 名(27.6%)为男性,71 名(72.4%)为女性。样本的总体平均年龄为 22.3±4.9 岁。有 36 名(36.7%)患者患有 3 级痤疮,其次是 25 名(25.5%)各有 1 级和 2 级痤疮,12 名(12.2%)患有 4 级痤疮。体重指数与痤疮严重程度之间没有显著关系(p=0.07),睡眠质量也是如此(p=0.09)。
体重指数和睡眠质量与痤疮严重程度无关。
