TI  - Quality of Life of School and University Students with Acne.
PG  - 139-145
AB  - Acne may have severe negative impact on different aspects of patient 
      health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Prevalence of acne in university and 
      school students is high, and the HRQoL of students with acne from different 
      countries was studied. There is a lack of studies on direct comparison of HRQoL 
      impairment of university and school students with acne. The Cardiff Acne 
      Disability Index (CADI) was used to assess the HRQOL in university and school 
      students with self-assessed acne. The CADI results from 159 university and 99 
      school students with self-reported acne were obtained. Mean age of university and 
      school students was 20.99+/-1.47 (mean +/- Standard Deviation) and 14.10+/-0.51 years, 
      respectively. Reported impact on QoL of university students was significantly 
      higher (3.33+/-2.26 and 2.76+/-2.42, P<0.05). Total CADI scores negatively correlated 
      with the age of university students (r=-0.16; P<0.05). Analysis of gender 
      differences of university students showed that negative correlation of HRQoL with 
      age was present in women (r=-0.22; P<0.05) but absent in male students (r=0.05; 
      P=0.77). Female university students reported more severe impact of acne on their 
      life (2.55+/-2.31 in male and 3.59+/-2.20 in female students, P<0.01). Our results 
      showed that university students experience higher impact of acne on their life 
      than school students. The highest is the impact on young female university 
      students. We recommend paying more attention to the psychological aspects of 
      young female students with acne during consultations.
