    TLDR Healthy lifestyle and weight control improve skin and scalp health in young adults.
    The study conducted in 2020 surveyed people in their 20s and 30s to determine the impact of lifestyle and weight control on skin and scalp health. The results showed that irregular living habits, such as high rates of drinking, smoking, irregular eating, excessive caffeine intake, and lack of exercise, were common. 22.0% of participants were currently controlling their weight, and 33.0% had done so in the past, making up more than 50% of the total. The study found that skin moisture, blemishes, elasticity, and sebum levels were higher before weight control but decreased by 35.0%, 14.0%, 33.0%, and 25.0% respectively after weight control. Sensitivity increased by 13.0% after weight control. Hair loss, hair thinning, and hair thickness were lower before weight control but increased by 26.0%, 26.0%, and 20.0% respectively after weight control. The oily part of the hair decreased by 10.0% after weight control.
