Introduction: Redundancy of psychological comorbidities in acne vulgaris may contribute to disturbed eating attitude.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate possible relation between acne vulgaris and disturbed eating attitude.
Methods: One hundred acne patients and 86 healthy volunteers evaluated by the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90) and possible indicative of disordered eating using the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40) and Eating Disorders Examination-Questionnaire (EDEQ).
Results: Mean EAT-40 score was significantly higher in acne group (24.1±17.4) compared to control group (14.2±9.0) (P=0.001). Global score of EDEQ and all subscores were statistically higher in acne group (for each P=0.001). The ratio of participants who meaningful scores for Restraint Eating and Weight Concern subscores of EDEQ was significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (P=0.003; P=0.034 respectively). Obsessive-compulsive and Depression subscores of SCL-90-R among acne patients who had meaningful EAT-40 scores were statistically higher compared to those had EAT-40 scores <30 (P=0.030; P=0.006 respectively).
Conclusion: Because of higher mortality and morbidity rates clinicians should screen acne patients for possible disordered eating psychopathology, with particular attention to those with obsessive-compulsive and depression.
