Abstract
Objective: To compare the insulin resistance in patients with acne vulgaris with control group. Subject and method: Case-control study, 314 acne vulgaris patients and 100 control subjects were enrolled in Dermato-Venereology Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City, from March 2019 to September 2019. Diagnosis of acne vulgaris is based on clinical findings and severity of the disease according to the Global Acne Classification System (GAGS). Insulin resistance was assessed by the HOMA-IR index. Data are processed by Stata 14.2 software. Result: The average age of sample was 21.99 ± 3.72 years, female 54.8%. Mean of HOMA-IR index of patient group was 2.64 ± 2.41, of control group was 2.01 ± 1.7, this difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. Insulin resistance of patient group was (29.3%) higher than that of control group (15%), statistically significant difference with p<0.05. Conclusion: Patient group had insulin resistant higher than control group with statistically significant defference (p<0.05).
