Despite societal advances and shifts in lifestyle, updates on causal factors remain limited. Our study aims to address this gap by investigating emerging pathogenic factors that differ from those conventionally reported.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n We conducted a case\u2013control study to explore novel etiological factors contributing to the onset of melasma in Chinese patients, with an emphasis on how these differ from previously established causes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The study included 150 patients (144 women and 6 men) diagnosed with melasma at Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from April to October 2023. A control cohort of individuals without melasma was enrolled from the community. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, along with exogenous factors and histories of related dermatoses and non\u2010dermatoses, through a questionnaire administered with the guidance of a dermatologist. Etiological factors were assessed using univariate analysis followed by multivariate analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Overall, our results were consistent with previous studies. In addition, alcohol intake (OR: 20.05, 95% CI: 1.17\u2013343.17) and breast cystic hyperplasia (OR: 15.98, 95% CI: 4.28\u201359.72) were found to be novel triggering factors of melasma, whereas change of residence (OR: 0.03, 95% CI: 0.00\u20130.30), house renovation (OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.03\u20130.58) and soft drink intake (OR: 0.04, 95% CI: 0.00\u20130.83) were protective.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n These findings suggest that diet and the living environment are novel etiological factors for melasma.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.70038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T05:37:38Z","timestamp":1739252258000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Diet and Living Environment as Novel Etiological Factors for Melasma: The Results Form a Retrospective Case\u2013Control Study of 150 Chinese Patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Yue","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shun","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/abd1806-4841.20143063"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13555-017-0194-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.25251\/skin.3.3.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pcmr.12404"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00105-016-3927-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdvl.IJDVL_633_18"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.13059"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5070\/D32510045810"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.15490"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cbi.2019.01.035"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2000.104512"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdermsci.2020.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.epirev.a017960"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","first-page":"337","article-title":"Pollution as a Risk Factor for the Development of Melasma and Other Skin Disorders of Facial Hyperpigmentation \u2010 Is There a Case to Be Made?","volume":"14","author":"Roberts W.
