TLDR Rosacea severely affects the quality of life for many patients in China, especially young adults and those with appearance-related jobs.
The study found that the quality of life (QoL) of rosacea patients in China was significantly impaired, particularly among those aged 21-40 years, those with occupational requirements for appearance, those with a disease duration of less than 2 years, and those experiencing severe flushing and related sensitive symptoms. These factors contributed to severe or very severe limitations in their QoL, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues in this patient population.
