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.
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).
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.
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.
寻常痤疮是世界上最常见的炎症性疾病之一，主要影响青少年。其患病率和促成因素在不同地区和人群中有所不同。遗传易感性、激素影响、饮食习惯、生活方式选择和环境因素被认为是重要的促成因素。
这是一项横断面研究，涉及来自沙特阿拉伯吉赞地区的419名参与者。该研究采用了非概率便利抽样技术。通过在线问卷收集数据，并使用统计产品与服务解决方案（SPSS，版本27；IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows，纽约州阿蒙克）进行分析。
研究发现痤疮患病率很高，超过一半（66.8%）的参与者受到影响，其中51.8%报告为轻度严重程度。丘疹最常见于面部（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参与者的两倍（OR=2.14）。年龄每增加一岁，痤疮风险降低5%。发现年龄（p=0.010）、女性性别（p=0.017）和油性皮肤（p<0.001）与痤疮发生存在显著关联。
该研究发现沙特阿拉伯吉赞地区年轻人群中寻常痤疮的患病率很高。年龄、女性性别和油性皮肤是寻常痤疮发生的预测因素。痤疮疤痕等并发症以及害羞等心理影响凸显了痤疮对社会和心理健康的重大负担。该研究表明，加强治疗和改善生活质量需要提高对寻常痤疮及其治疗方法和相关并发症的认识。
