The Relationship Between Nutrition Habits, BMI, Anxiety, And Seborrheic Dermatitis

The study examined 100 patients with seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and 110 healthy controls to explore the relationship between nutrition habits, BMI, anxiety, and SD. It found that patients with SD had poorer nutrition habits, as indicated by lower scores on the Adolescents Food Habits Checklist, and consumed more bread and fewer fruits and vegetables. A higher BMI was associated with more severe SD, and anxiety levels were significantly higher in patients with moderate to severe SD. The study suggests that unhealthy eating habits, obesity, and anxiety may exacerbate SD, highlighting the importance of healthy nutrition and managing psychoemotional status in preventing and managing SD.
