Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be seen at any stage of life. Diet is thought to be effective in AV formation. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) determines how inflammatory a diet is. We hypothesized that DII is associated with AV and a biochemical parameter in women.

Methods: The study included 34 case and 34 healthy control women who applied to a hospital. A responsible dermatologist determined AV severity, and blood samples were collected from the individuals. The DII was calculated using three-day food consumption records from women. The DII was adjusted according to tertiles in women with and without AV. The responsible researcher used the face-to-face interview approach to record the women's socio-demographic information and anthropometric measures.

Results: Cases had higher DII scores than controls. When divided into tertiles, the group with the highest DII score and the most pro-inflammatory group were women in the tertil 3+ group (4.93 ± 1.37). It was found that those in the most pro-inflammatory group were more overweight (58,27 ± 6,63 kg), and body mass index (BMI) (21,94 ± 2,80 kg/m2) was higher.

Conclusion: The study's results suggest that as the DII score increases, the diet has a pro-inflammatory effect associated with AV. Including sufficient anti-inflammatory foods in their diets to decrease DII of individuals will help prevent AV formation and/or reduce lesions.
