“…In Western Europe and America, HS is more common in women compared to men. However, studies from eastern nations including Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan 50‐53 Turkey, 54 Malta 55 and Tunisia 56 have observed higher prevalence in men. This male preponderance may be partially confounded by the relatively higher frequency of smoking among Asian men compared to women 50 .…”

“…Previous studies performed in Western countries have shown that HS was more prevalent in females with female‐to‐male ratios of 2.6–3.3:1 2,9 . In Asian countries, the converse is true where the ratios of male:female patients are consistently higher, as evidenced by the demographics of studies from East Asia and South‐East Asia 10 . A nationwide registry study of Korea revealed a predominance of male cases with the female‐to‐male ratio of 1:1.6 7 .…”

“…The smoking rate of female HS patients was twice as high as that of the general female population in Korea, indirectly suggesting a possible relationship between HS and smoking. This trend of female smoking being less prevalent than male smoking is mirrored across Asia, including Japan, Singapore and Malaysia 10 . In Asian countries, women's smoking is perceived negatively in social customs and, consequently, would be much less prevalent than in Western counties.…”

“…Sex-specific differences in smoking habits might also play an essential role because the smoking rates are much higher in the male than female Asian population. [20][21][22][23] The anatomical distribution of HS lesions commonly includes the axillae, groin, buttocks, and perineal and perianal regions as reported in previous Western and Asian studies. However, the most frequently affected area differs according to the geographical population.…”
