THURSDAY, Aug. 6, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Western diets rich in animal products and fatty and sugary foods are associated with adult acne, according to a study published online June 10 in JAMA Dermatology<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Laetitia Penso, from University of Paris, and colleagues assessed the association between dietary behavior and current acne in adults using survey data from 24,452 participants (mean age, 57 years; 75 percent women) in the NutriNet-Sant\u00e9 study.<\/p>\n
The researchers found that 46 percent of participants reported past or current acne. There was a significant association between current acne and the consumption of fatty and sugary products (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.54; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 2.16), sugary beverages (aOR, 1.18; 95 percent CI, 1.01 to 1.38), and milk (aOR, 1.12; 95 percent CI, 1.00 to 1.25). This energy-dense dietary pattern (high consumption of fatty and sugary products) was associated with current acne (aOR, 1.13; 95 percent CI, 1.05 to 1.18).<\/p>\n
“Further large-scale studies are needed to investigate more closely the association between diet and acne that might be of value in the prevention and management of acne,” the authors write.<\/p>\n
