Abstract in brief

  • Acne affects about 9.4% of the global population, making it the eighth most common disease worldwide, and is most prevalent among post-pubescent teens, especially boys with more severe cases.
  • Studies from around the world show that acne's prevalence is fairly consistent globally, although some populations have differing rates, and there’s a need for a standard assessment method to improve research consistency.
  • The review also explores specific groups, like people who don’t get acne, and considers various factors that might influence how common acne is in different populations.]

@BHBEnjoyer @AllyTransforms I said I have no studies. I said personal observations, like you implied were acceptable. But here's a study that examined two acne free societies. They likely didn't have dairy, but they also didn't have white flour, seed oils, sugar, or UPF'S. https://t.co/8p7AEyXRJq
