acne study done across age groups
A new study has revealed that women experience acne at higher rates than their male counterparts across age groups 20 years and older. Dermatologist Julice C. harper, MD, FAAD, associate professor of dermatology at the university Alabama and her collegues at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine found that a significant proportion of adults continue to be plagued by acne well beyond the teenage years, especially women. A total of 1,013 men and women aged 20 years and above were asked to complete a one-page questionnaire designed to evaluate the prevalence of acne in adults across various age groups. Survey questions gauged whether the participant had ever had acne or pimples, including during their teens or later in life (in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s or older).
The survey also asked participants to judge whether their acne had become better, worse or stayed the same since their teenage years.
When asked whether they had ever had a pimple or acne, a vast majority (73.3 percent) of participants responded that at one time or another they had dealt with acne.
The majority also reported that they had experienced acne as teenagers, with the number of men and women affected by the condition nearly identical, 68.5 percent of male participants and 66.8 percent of female participants.
The research team found that for every age group following the teenage group, the reported incidence of acne was significantly higher among women than men, with 50.9 percent of women reporting experiencing acne during their 20s as compared to 42.5 percent of men.
The results also showed that during their 40s, 26.3 percent of women and 12 percent of men had acne, while in those above 50, 15.3 percent of women and 7.3 percent of men reported having acne.
The research team also carried out a separate section of the survey, which included questions assessing aspects of acne specific to women, asked female participants to note changes in acne around the time of their menstrual period, their pre-menopausal or post-menopausal status, and the effect of any treatments for symptoms of menopause on acne.
Of the pre-menopausal women surveyed, 62.2 percent noted that their acne gets worse around the time of menstruation
“Our findings demonstrate that acne is a persistent problem for people of all ages, but clearly women seem to be affected by this medical condition more than men when we examined the 20-plus age groups,” Dr. Harper said.
“Research examining the role of hormones, play in the development of acne may hold the key to explaining why more adult women are affected by acne and could lead to future treatments to control this condition,” she added.
Dr Harper added that the majority of study participants reported that the severity of their acne improved after their teenage years, which is consistent with previous studies suggesting that post-adolescent acne is generally mild or moderate. For example, 63 percent of men and 53.3 percent of women stated that their acne improved after their teenage years, while only 3.6 percent of men and 13.3 percent of women reported that their acne worsened post-adolescence.

ACNE LED TO DIVORCE.
Hello guys.. i read this article a few months back in times of india and since then i have been thinking about it and also the kind of implications acnes can lead to. here i m posting a part of the article and i want all of us to think about it and give views on it..i will be discussing the problem of acne in details and also its solutions... keep reading..
MUMBAI: Pimples can not only wreck your confidence but even your marriage. this is a bitter lesson a mumbai housewife learnt after hewr husband filed for divorce, saying he was "traumatized" during his honeymoon by the sprut af acne vulgaris on his new wife's face.
To add to that, the family court, while granting divorce, observed that the "repulsive condition of the wife is undoubtedly tragic for the wife but this is traumatic for the spouse". It also upheld the husband's argument that the pimples prevented him from consummating the marriage. "The woman played a fraud on him (the husband) by not disclosing the fact that she had a disease," said the court.
The only relief for the wife was granted by the Bombay high court, which recently expunged the family court's observations.
Ashwin Shah and Reema Desai (names changed) had an arranged marriage on February 2, 1998, and left for a honeymoon in Mahabaleshwar. Both were in their early twenties and Ashwin was involved in the family business.
According to Ashwin, he could not maintain marital relations as Reema had boils around her mouth. The boils, he said, had burst and were smelly.
According to court documents, Ashwin was enraged to learn that she had "this skin disease since early childhood" but kept it under wraps. He then asked Reema's parents to take her back to the doctor whom she had been consulting. A month later, Reema left for her parents' place on Ashwin's promise to get her back once she was cured.
In May 1998, Reema called up Ashwin and threatened to commit suicide if she was not allowed to return to him. This is when Ashwin sent a notice to her. Meanwhile, Reema lodged a police complaint about her in-laws harassing her for dowry.
When the matter reached the family court, the doctor who treated Reema was summoned. He testified treating the girl for four months after marriage for a skin condition known as 'acne vulgaris'. The doctor also told the court that it was curable and would not cause any hindrance to physical relations between the couple.
However, the court felt that the doctor had met Reema as a patient four months after Ashwin had first noticed the pimples and hence rejected the madical statements. The marriage was declared null and void in the family court's order of April 2002.
For six years thereafter, Reema has battled to get the court's adverse observations on her condition expunged. Terming the observations as "perverse", she wanted them to be quashed. Pimples are curable and don't hamper peaceful co-existence in married life, she said in her petition to the Bombay high court six years back. The petition also questioned the family court judge's decision not to admit her doctor's findings.
After prolonged hearings, the couple recently filed consent terms in the high court. Both parties agreed to withdraw the allegations levelled in the family court. While the high court expunged the family court's observations, Ashwin has agreed to pay Reema Rs 2.5 lakh and withdraw all pending cases.
what do u guys think about this whole issue of acne acting as such a catalyst in a marriage and also some other parts of ones life.
