Moderate to severe acne has a prevalence of 10% to 20% in adolescent populations and is associated with psychosocial problems.1- 3 There is a growing interest in possible links between diet, lifestyle, and acne.4- 5 However, possible relationships remain controversial. On the other hand, the number of overweight children and adolescents is increasing.6 The aim of the present study was to demonstrate a possible relationship between body mass index (BMI) and acne in adolescents.
