The mean anxiety score was estimated to be 2.55 points lower for albino patients (95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.47 to 3.64), and the mean depression score 2.76 points lower (95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.84 to 3.68), after adjustment for age, sex and marital status. However, significant differences were not observed when comparing the vitiligo patients with the subset of albino patients with skin cancer. Older patients had significantly higher anxiety and depression scores. Females had significantly higher anxiety scores (but not depression scores) compared to males. Genital involvement in vitiligo was significantly associated with anxiety but not depression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that the African with vitiligo suffers significantly higher psychiatric distress than the African albino on average. Clinical evaluation of these patients would be incomplete without assessment of their psycho morbidity. There is need for increased focus on cancer prevention strategies in the African albino.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.12216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,23]],"date-time":"2013-07-23T05:46:44Z","timestamp":1374558404000},"page":"925-932","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Quantification
