Every country has its own food culture; however, only a few studies have surveyed the influence of Asian cuisine on acne. This study investigated the association between acne severity and diet\/lifestyle factors in 2,467 Thai adolescents and adults. Data were collected via a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. In Thai adolescents and adults, the prevalence of mild acne was 52%, moderate acne 22%, and severe acne 8%. No acne was found in 18% of participants. The dietary factors associated with increased severity of acne were consumption of chocolate &gt;100 g\/week (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.29; 95% CI 1.07\u20131.56), oily and fried food &gt;3 times\/week (aOR 1.84; 95% CI 1.07\u20133.16) and white rice (aOR 1.80; 95% CI 1.24\u20132.63). Conversely, the factors associated with decreased severity of acne were consumption of sugar-free milk-free tea (aOR 0.61; 95% CI 0.43\u20130.87) and vegetables (aOR 0.74; 95% CI 0.62\u20130.89).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/actadv.v101.569","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,22]],"date-time":"2021-11-22T12:42:44Z","timestamp":1637584964000},"page":"adv00611","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Association Between Diet and Acne Severity: A Cross-sectional Study in Thai Adolescents and Adults"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Katewadee","family":"Roengritthidet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nanticha","family":"Kamanamool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Montree","family":"Udompataikul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salinee","family":"Rojhirunsakool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saranya","family":"Khunket","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silada","family":"Kanokrungsee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"10152","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Collier CN, Harper JC, Cafardi JA, Cantrell WC, Wang W, Foster KW, et al.
