Patients often seek dermatological disorder
remedied include dietary and non-nutritional agents as
they frequently link to many health problems. While
some of these concerns are unfounded, due to significant
evidence considerations of important of dietary in some
dermatological conditions. The aim of the present study
was to study the nutrition and non-nutritional risk
factors implicated in development of dermatological
diseases.
Methodology
This cross sectional study comprised of 186
patients with skin diseases. Data were collected using a
questionnaire and in face to face interviews. The
questionnaire include non-nutritional risk facrors and
modified FFQ beside data on anthropometrics. Data
was presented as either mean ± SD or frequencies and
percentages according to the natural of data. Chi-square
test was used at α< 0.05.
Results and Discussion:
Of the total samples 186 patients with skin disorder
aged between 18-53 years old found that the peak age at
18-24 years old. The non-nutritional risk factors shown
that significant differences between dermatological
disease blood group O, psychological factors, education
levels, and students as a type of job (P< 0.05) .
However, the obtained biochemical lab result revealed
that abnormal low levels of Hemoglobin, Vitamin D ,
Zinc, Iron and magnesium. Furthermore, nutritional
risk factors implicated in dermatological disorders that
shown statistically differences include, low water intake,
lack of exercises, heavier body weight, abdominal
obesity, decreased intake of micronutrients
supplementation, increased intake of junk foods and
dermatological triggers foods and lack of nutritious (P<
0.05).
Conclusion:
Imbalance food intake, deprivation body sleeping,
blood groups which significantly affect health of the
skin. Therefore, our data suggested that, awareness for
dermatological risk factors might be needed to all
patients at younger ages to protect the skin against
deterioration factors.
