Abstract
Background: The etiopathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis (SD) remains unexplained, although several factors have been considered in this regard.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate diet, metabolic status, and oxidative stress in SD patients.
Methods: This prospective, single-center, case-control study included 49 SD patients and 40 gender- and age-matched healthy controls.
Results: Dietary total antioxidant capacity values were significantly lower in SD patients than among the controls (7.16 ± 2.66 vs. 12.85 ± 4.26; p < 0.001). Glycemic load (GL) values were significantly higher in SD patients (187.2 ± 57.2 vs. 110.6 ± 46.5; p < 0.001). The glycemix index (GI) and GL values of patients with severe SD were significantly higher than those with mild SD (p = 0.014, p = 0.017; respectively).
Limitations: The cross-sectional design, small sample size, and the relatively short duration of questioning dietary habits are the limitations of the study.
Conclusion: A diet rich in antioxidants and with low GI/GL content may be beneficial in the treatment of SD.

The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) is the official scientific publication of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Its primary goal is to cater to the educational requirements of the dermatology community. Being the top journal in the field, JAAD publishes original articles that have undergone peer review. These articles primarily focus on clinical, investigative, and population-based studies related to dermatology. Another key area of emphasis is research on healthcare delivery and quality of care. JAAD also highlights high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative treatments within the field. In addition to this, the journal covers new diagnostic techniques and various other topics relevant to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of skin, hair, and nail disorders.
