Age, Body Mass and Physical Activity Determinants of Facial Acne Severity among Southern Nigerian Adolescents and Young Adults
Objective: To explore the relationship between severities of acne with age, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity index (PAI) of the patients. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design. Acne patients were recruited through quota sampling across Faculties of a University, 120 subjects met the inclusion requirements and gave individual consent; however, only 105 completed the study. A 25 cm2 quadrant, Global Acne Grading Scale (GAGS), Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (KPAS) and BMI apparatus were used to measure: acne lesion count and density, facial distribution and severity, PAI, and BMI, respectively. Multiple regression, and Spearman’s correlation were used for inferential statistical analysis. Results: Subjects’ characteristics were: age (22 ± 4 years), BMI (25.3 ± 3.5), PAI (2.5 ± 0.4) and 5 ± 1.7 acne eruptions per 25 cm2 of face. Multiple regression showed that age, BMI and PAI significantly predicted acne severity, F (3,101) = 4.272, p = 0.012, R2 = 0.293. Conversely, only age (ρ = -0.513, p = 0.002, CI = 99%) had a significant (inverse) relationship with acne severity; there is no significant relationship between acne and BMI (ρ = 0.034, p = 0.846, C.I = 95%) or PAI (ρ = -0.313, p = 0.067, CI = 95%). Conclusion: Age of subjects had a significant correlation with acne severity. However, BMI and PAI had no significant relationship with acne.
期刊介绍:
The Journal is international in scope, with author and editorial contributions from across the globe. The focus is on clinical and epidemiological aspects of tropical and infectious diseases, new and re-emerging infections, chronic non-communicable diseases, and medical conditions prevalent in the Latin America-Caribbean region, and of significance to global health, especially in developing countries. The Journal covers all medical disciplines, as well as basic and translational research elucidating the pathophysiologic basis of diseases or focussing on new therapeutic approaches, and publishes original scientific research, reviews, case reports, brief communications, letters, commentaries and medical images. The Journal publishes four to six issues and four supplements annually. English is the language of publication but Abstracts are also duplicated in Spanish. Most of the articles are submitted at the authors’ initiative, but some are solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Unless expressly stated, the Editorial Board does not accept responsibility for authors’ opinions.
All papers on submission are reviewed by a subcommittee. Those deemed worthy for review are sent to two or three reviewers (one of the three might be a statistician if necessary). The returned papers with reviewer comments are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Papers may be rejected, accepted or sent back to authors for revision. Resubmitted papers from authors are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and may be sent back to reviewers or a final decision made by Editor-in-Chief. The decision of the Editorial Board is final with regards to rejected articles. Rejected articles will not be returned to the authors. The editorial subcommittee has the right to return sub-standard manuscripts to the authors, rather than passing them on to the reviewers. This implies outright rejection of the manuscript.
