OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the association between dietary dairy intake and
teenaged acne among boys. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study. We
studied 4273 boys, members of a prospective cohort study of youths and of
lifestyle factors, who reported dietary intake on up to 3 food frequency
questionnaires from 1996 to 1998 and teenaged acne in 1999. We computed
multivariate prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals for acne. RESULTS:
After adjusting for age at baseline, height, and energy intake, the multivariate
prevalence ratios (95% confidence interval; P value for test of trend) for acne
comparing highest (>2 servings/d) with lowest (<1/wk) intake categories in 1996
were 1.16 (1.01, 1.34; 0.77) for total milk, 1.10 (0.94, 1.28; 0.83) for whole/2%
milk, 1.17 (0.99, 1.39; 0.08) for low-fat (1%) milk, and 1.19 (1.01, 1.40; 0.02)
for skim milk. LIMITATIONS: Not all members of the cohort responded to the
questionnaire. Acne assessment was by self-report and boys whose symptoms might
have been part of an underlying disorder were not excluded. We did not adjust for
steroid use and other lifestyle factors that may affect occurrence of acne.
CONCLUSION: We found a positive association between intake of skim milk and acne.
This finding suggests that skim milk contains hormonal constituents, or factors
that influence endogenous hormones, in sufficient quantities to have biological
effects in consumers.
