Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebasea follicle. Although the cause of acne vulgaris is not known for certain but there are several pathogenesis suspected to have some effects on the occurrence of acne vulgaris, inter alia the increase in sebum production which is controlled by androgen hormones. Stimulation of androgen hormone production is associated with elevated level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Increased IGF-1 is correlated positively with body mass index (BMI). In general, acne vulgaris begins at age 12-15 years and most occur in adolescents aged 15-18 years. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and the incidence rate of acne vulgaris in students at SMA Frater Don Bosco Manado (senior high school). This was an analytical survey observation with a cross sectional design. Subjects were 69 students obtained by using systematic random sampling. Of the 69 students suffered from acne vulgaris, there were 8 (11.6%) with thin BMI; 50 (72.5%) with normal BMI; and 11 (15.9%) with fat and obese BMI. Conclusion: There was no significant association between BMI and the incidence of acne vulgaris among the students at SMA Frater Don Bosco Manado.Keywords: body mass index, acne vulgaris Abstrak: Akne vulgaris adalah penyakit radang kronis pada folikel pilosebasea. Walaupun penyebab dari akne vulgaris belum diketahui pasti namun terdapat beberapa patogenesis yang diduga berpengaruh pada timbulnya akne vulgaris, salah satunya yaitu peningkatan produksi sebum di bawah kontrol hormon androgen. Stimulasi produksi hormon androgen berhubungan dengan peningkatan kadar insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Peningkatan IGF-1 berkorelasi positif dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT). Umumnya akne vulgaris dimulai pada usia 12-15 tahun dan terbanyak pada remaja usia 15-18 tahun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara IMT dan angka kejadian akne vulgaris pada siswa-siswi di SMA Frater Don Bosco Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah observasi analitik survei dengan desain potong lintang. Subyek penelitian ialah siswa-siswi di SMA Frater Don Bosco Manado diperoleh dengan pengambilan sampel secara acak sistematis. Pada 69 subyek dengan akne vulgaris, terdapat 8 orang (11,6%) dengan IMT kurus; 50 orang (72,5%) dengan IMT normal; dan 11 orang (15,9%) dengan IMT gemuk dan obesitas. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara IMT dan angka kejadian akne vulgaris pada siswa-siswi di SMA Frater Don Bosco Manado.Kata kunci: indeks massa tubuh, akne vulgaris

“…(17) Another cross-sectional study was performed on the final year female medical students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia have also shown that cases with moderate to severe acne were strongly associated with first-degree relatives' acne history. (30,31) The results of the present study showed that there was a high significant difference between female students who have acne and female students who do not have acne as regarding presence of menarche and increasing acne few days before menses. Also, occurrence of acne was three times higher in female students who have menarche (OR =3.20) and one and half time higher in females whose acne increases few days before menses (OR =1.40) in our study.…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is the most common skin condition affecting adolescents across the globe. It is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous follicles, characterized by the presence of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and scars. Development of acne has been associated with many factors as genetic component, emotional stress, diet and hormonal activity such as menstrual cycles and puberty. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of acne in adolescents at preparatory and secondary school students in Belbeis city and to identify the risk factors that may have an impact on acne. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 370 adolescents aged 10-19 years in Belbeis city. A sociodemographic and risk factors questionnaires of acne was applied on students of two preparatory schools and one secondary school. Results: Among the study subjects; 21.6% reported having acne. Acne is more significant in females than males and in students in preparatory schools than students in secondary schools with p value= 0.04, 0.01 respectively. There is high significant difference between female students who have acne and female students who do not have acne regarding occurrence of menarche and increasing acne few days before menses, there is weak significant difference regarding consuming large amounts of high fat milk products in diet. The occurrence of acne is one and half time higher in students with positive history of acne in their families. Conclusion: Twenty percent of adolescence students had acne, with girls affected at higher rates than boys.

“…This result was consistent with the results of two studies: a cross-sectional study conducted in northeast China that demonstrated that undergraduate students developed acne by 78% heritability in first-degree relatives (13) and a cross-sectional study conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a sample of female, final-year, medical students that demonstrated that the cases of moderate to severe acne were strongly associated with the first-degree relatives' acne history. (14) Anxiety and depression, as assessed by HADS, were significantly observed in the acne group than in the control group: anxiety in the acne group and control group was 23.9% and 6.5%, respectively, and depression in the acne group and control group was 13.1% and 4.3%, respectively. These percentages were consistent with a case-control study conducted in 2014 that assessed anxiety and depression in several dermatological conditions and demonstrated that the HADS scores for anxiety were significantly higher in patients with psoriasis, vitiligo, and acne eczema than in healthy subjects.…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is a prevalent skin condition that may affect the perception of body image and adversely affect social and psychological states. This disease has been associated with rates of depression, anxiety, failure to thrive at school and in social environments, suicidal ideation, and suicidal attempts that are higher than in individuals without this disease. Objective: To estimate the frequency of anxiety and depression in patients with acne vulgaris and determine the association between acne severity and anxiety and depression in those patients Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Zagazig University Hospital on 92 subjects (46 patients with acne and 46 individuals without acne); they were interviewed. The researcher used the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) to classify acne and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to determine anxiety and depression. Results: In the acne group, 23.9% had anxiety and 13.1% had depression. In the control group, 6.5% had anxiety and 4.3% had depression; the difference was statistically significant. Of the acne group patients with severe acne, 66.7% had anxiety and 44.4% had depression. There was a significant correlation between the severity of acne evaluated by GAGS and HADS for anxiety (r = 0.712, p < 0.001) and GAGS and HADS for depression (r = 0.584, p < 0.001). Conclusion:Acne vulgaris may be associated with depression and anxiety, with a linear relationship between its severity and the presence of depression and anxiety. Patients with acne vulgaris should undergo a continually psychiatric evaluation by their primary care physician to avoid the negative effects on their mental and social health.
