Adultos con acné tienen alto riesgo de padecer trastornos alimenticios, según nuevo estudio Los pacientes con acné, de 18 años o más, tienen más del doble de probabilidad de padecer un trastorno alimenticio en comparación con las personas que no tienen esta condición, según señalan los investigadores. |
 Adults with acne face a significantly higher risk of developing an eating disorder, a new study finds. Researchers say acne may heighten their concerns about appearance… leading to harmful thoughts and behaviors like body size obsession and restricted eating. They analyzed data from nearly 7,400 acne patients, 18 and older, comparing them to more than 207,000 people without the condition. The acne patients were 2.4 times more likely to have an eating disorder, according to the results. Even after accounting for a history of anxiety, depression or body image problems, acne was tied to a 65% increased risk of an eating disorder. The lead author says, “Our findings will help physicians caring for individuals with acne to be attentive to signs of eating disorders to provide holistic and comprehensive care to patients.” He adds, while this study was conducted in people 18 and older, both acne and eating disorders “heavily impact” adolescents, so future research should include people of all ages.
