Which group is found to have a higher prevalence of adult acne?

Men
Women
Children
Teenagers

The correct answer is: Women

Women are found to have a higher prevalence of adult acne due to several factors, including hormonal fluctuations that can occur during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. These hormonal changes can contribute to increased oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores and the development of acne. Additionally, factors such as stress, diet, and the use of certain cosmetic products can further exacerbate acne in adult women. Research has shown a significant correlation between these hormonal variations and the incidence of acne in females, establishing a clear gender difference in the prevalence of adult acne. While men do experience acne, it tends to be more prevalent in younger populations and often resolves more quickly than in women. Children and teenagers are generally more associated with adolescent acne due to hormonal changes during puberty, but adults, particularly women, are more frequently affected by persistent acne later in life.
