Abstract

Background

Although there is content diversity, there are several data about the impact of diet on acne. However, studies about patients' beliefs about the effects of diet on acne are limited. So, in this study, we aimed to assess the perceptions and beliefs of patients about the association between acne and diet.

Methods

It was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on patients with a diagnosis of acne vulgaris in the dermatology clinic of Shohada Tajrish and Loghman Hakim Hospital (Tehran, Iran) from December 2022 to December 2023. A questionnaire was given to each patient, and basic data and beliefs of patients about the association between acne and diet were asked. All questionnaires were recorded in SPSS v.26 software and analyzed. A significant level was considered less than 0.05.

Results

In this study, 793 patients participated in the study. 328 patients (41.36%) were 12–19 years old, and 482 of all patients (60.78%) were male. Most of the patients believed that sweets and chocolates and fatty and fried foods had negative impacts on acne and that fruits and vegetables, vitamins, and supplements (zinc, omega-3, selenium, and green tea) improved the disease condition. Acne severity and skin type had significant relationships with the beliefs of patients about the effects of diet on acne (p-values < 0.05).

Conclusion

Although a considerable number of patients with acne believe that diet impacts acne, the patients should be educated about dietary habits that improve or aggravate the disease.

评估寻常痤疮与饮食的关系:对患者信念和知觉的探索性研究
虽然内容多样,但有一些关于饮食对痤疮影响的数据。然而,关于患者对饮食对痤疮影响的看法的研究是有限的。因此,在这项研究中,我们旨在评估患者对痤疮与饮食之间关系的看法和信念。方法对2022年12月至2023年12月在伊朗德黑兰Shohada Tajrish and Loghman Hakim医院皮肤科门诊诊断为寻常性痤疮的患者进行横断面研究。研究人员向每位患者发放了一份调查问卷,并询问了患者关于痤疮与饮食之间关系的基本数据和看法。所有问卷均在SPSS v.26软件中进行记录和分析。显著水平为小于0.05。结果本研究共纳入793例患者。年龄12-19岁328例(41.36%),男性482例(60.78%)。大多数患者认为糖果、巧克力、高脂肪食品和油炸食品对痤疮有负面影响,而水果、蔬菜、维生素和补充剂(锌、omega-3、硒和绿茶)可以改善疾病状况。痤疮严重程度和皮肤类型与患者对饮食对痤疮影响的信念有显著相关(p值<; 0.05)。结论虽然有相当一部分痤疮患者认为饮食对痤疮有影响,但应对患者进行饮食习惯的教育,以改善或加重痤疮的病情。
