Artigo Científico Acesso embargado Consumo de alimentos com alto índice glicêmico e sua relação com a acne na mulher adulta(2017) Zumblick, Luiza KönigAims: Analyze the frequency of consumption of foods with high glycemic index and the relationship with the appearance of acne in adult women. Methods: Research performed with adult women who answered an online questionnaire regarding age, skin, acne and food frequency for foods with a high glycemic index using white bread as a reference. The criteria for inclusion of the research were female, older than 25 years and presenting acne on face, and/or breast, and/or back. The information was analyzed and tabulated and the quantitative variables were described by mean, standard deviation and limits of variance. Results: We interviewed 71 adult women with acne, with an average age of 30 years. These have claimed to have acne on the face, back and/or chest. They presented oily, mixed, normal and dry skin. Regarding contraceptive use, 67.6% (n=48) of the women did not use it and 32.4% (n=23) used it. Most women 83.1% (n=59) reported having had acne in their teens and reported the presence of acne in the family. Among the interviewees, 91.5% (n=65) reported that somehow acne was aesthetically discomforting and only 8.5% (n=6) that did not cause discomfort. Of those interviewed, 78.9% (n=56) stated that their diet 5 could have an influence on acne. Regarding food frequency, foods with a high glycemic index were divided into 6 groups: 1-biscuits, 2-cakes and breads, 3-liquids, 4-cereals, 5-pastas and the like, 6-fruits and vegetables. All the subdivided foods had frequent consumption, comparing them, group 5 had the highest frequency with 26%. Conclusion: The results confirm the frequency of consumption of foods with a high glycemic index in the women studied, which may influence acne lesions.It is worth noting that a diet rich in foods with a high glycemic index is harmful to health, not only can trigger the onset of acne or even its worsening, but can also be a lever for other more serious diseases. It is important to continue research on the consumption of foods with a high glycemic index and the relationship between it and the condition of acne.
