A survey conducted in Norway showed that teenage girls are overweight or obese were significantly more likely to develop acne than other girls of normal weight. But this does not occur in teenage boys.
The researchers looked at weight loss of participants, especially the value of body mass index (BMI) and analyzed the initial conditions in general adolescent skin. Participants are also given a questionnaire that focuses on the history of acne.
Women who are obese will treat acne that comes up is worse, is likely to affect the problem of self-image.
The possibility of biological factors play a role. Psychological effects of overweight experienced by women is greater than boys, thus causing an increase in the amount of stress hormones that consequential to the appearance of acne.
Researchers reveal about 10-20 percent of teens in trouble with acne well being and weight. To the researchers conducted a study involving 3600 adolescents in Norway.
Overall about 13 percent of adolescents have acne agdis, and in adolescent girls who are overweight or obese figure this risk MAGs nearly 19 percent, while the male does not affect much.
There are not many studies in the field who understand what are the risk factors for developing acne, but this condition can occur at any age and have an impact on quality of life. So need a study to develop ways to prevent it.
Overweight is defined on a person who has a body mass index values over 25, while obese if the BMI is over 30. It is estimated that about 10 percent of girls and 15 percent of boys into the overweight category.
