Ocasiona gran impacto psicológico y económico, considerado al mismo nivel que enfermedades crónico-degenerativas como Diabetes Mellitus e Hipertensión Arterial. Este estudio busca generar información epidemiológica y que el médico en formación, así como el egresado tenga mejor panorama del tema y mayor dominio de sus emociones junto a hábitos más saludables. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio no experimental, longitudinal, analítico de casos y controles, retrospectivo en la población de alumnos de 1° a ...

Introduction: Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the multifactorial pilosebaceous unit present in the face, back and chest. In this study we wanted to know what was the frequency and the factors associated with the presence of acne in medical students. Materials and Methods: A case-control study was carried out in students from 1st to 5th year in School of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional Hermilio Valdizán. A 95% CI with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80% with a beta equal to 0.20 were considered. Results: The mean age was 22.31 + 3.22 years. Fruit consumption obtained significance (p = 0.04; OR = 6.09) as a protective factor. Anxiety was not significant (p = 0.59; OR = 1.34), as well as nutritional status (p = 0.57; OR = 1.14) and consumption of vitamin B supplement (p = 0.35 ; OR = 0.56). Significance was found in biological inheritance (p = 0.01; OR = 3.74 with lower rang...
