“…The risk of warts was increased with taking part in work with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.5. Working during childhood is correlated with the socioeconomic status of the family, which in turn affects the incidence and prevalence of warts [19,24]. In our study, the prevalence of warts among children of families with lower income was 13.9%, as compared to only 7.8% in the higher income category.…”

“…Worldwide, there have been several studies on the prevalence of cutaneous warts among school children, showing a prevalence varying from 2.4% to 33% [6,7]. Several studies have revealed risk factors for the children and adolescents who contract warts that include low social class, practicing gymnastics and sports, taking part in work, a large family size, and keeping household animals [6][7][8][9].…”

Skin diseases are common contributors to disease morbidity worldwide, particularly among school children. Although skin diseases are rarely lethal, they can have a significant impact in terms of treatment cost, absence from school, and psychological distress. Verruca vulgaris (cutaneous warts) is a common skin problem in children that commonly affects the hands and feet.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of warts among primary school children in Saudi Arabia to compare characteristics between children with and those without warts and to investigate the possible risk factors associated with the development of warts.Method: This school-based, cross-sectional study conducted among primary school children in the cities of Madinah and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia included 730 children, 298 males and 432 females, with mean age 11.2 ± 1.5 years from 15 randomly chosen public and private primary schools: eight public schools (four boys' and four girls') and two private schools (one boys' and one girls' school) from Madinah and five girls' schools from Jeddah (four public and one private). We collected data via interviews and a questionnaire and through the examination of each child's hands, feet, head, and neck for warts. Results:Our results showed that the prevalence of warts was 9.04%. Approximately 65% of the children with warts were boys. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of the children were found to have acute diseases. Boys and girls significantly differed regarding de novo and recurrent warts, with a higher proportion of de novo warts observed in boys. Boys tended to have a greater number of warts than girls, with the warts being smaller in size and persisting for longer durations, although these differences were not statistically significant. Risk factors were shown to be male sex, attending a public school, a large family size, smoking, working, sports activities, and handling domestic and farm animals at home. Having a highly-educated father appeared to reduce the risk. Conclusion:This study revealed a high prevalence of warts among primary school children in Madinah and Jeddah and elucidated the risk factors for the development of warts. This may help in the development of effective health messages about methods for preventing skin diseases. Keywords: Human papilloma virus; Plane warts; Verruca vulgaris Aim and ObjectivesAim: The aim of this study was to provide recent and valuable information about the epidemiology of verruca vulgaris among primary school children in Madinah and Jeddah. The information obtained will help to fill a gap in Saudi medical literature concerning this common skin disorder among school children and to tailor a health education program to combat it.Objectives: To determine the prevalence of warts among primary school children.To compare the characteristics of the participating children between those with and those without common warts.To investigate the possible risk factors associated with the development of warts among children.

“…Hindistan'da okul çocuklarında (4-18 yaş) yapılan başka bir çalışmada ise akne prevalansı %8 olarak saptanmıştır 21 . Tayvan'da yapılan bir çalışmada 6-11 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda akne prevalansını ise %17,5 olarak bulunmuştur 22 . Ülkemizde ve diğer ülkelerde yapılan çalışmalardaki prevelans ile ilgili farklı değerler akne vulgarisin ırksal, genetik, sosyoekonomik ve çevresel faktörlerden etkilenmesiyle açıklanabilir.…”

“…Böylece prepubertal dönemde erkeklerde akne görülmezken, kızların küçük bir yüzdesinde pubertal döneme ait akne dışı bulgu yoktu. Bunun kızların pubertal gelişiminin erkeklere göre daha erken başlamasıyla ilişkili olduğu akla gelmektedir [19][20][21][22]28 . Pubertenin erken dönemlerindeki ve prepubertal dönemdeki akne, yerleşim yeri, akne lezyonlarının tipi ve tedavideki farklılıklarıyla adolesan dönemde görülen akneden bazı farklılıklar göstermektedir.…”

“…prepubertal erkek ve premenarşal kızlarda yapmış oldukları iki farklı çalışmada aknenin prevalans ve şiddetinin yaştan çok pubertal gelişim ile ilişkili olduğunu saptamışlardır 23,24 . Ancak biz çalışmamızda, daha önce iki farklı çalışmada gösterildiği gibi akne prevalansı ve şiddetinin sadece pubertal gelişim ile değil, aynı zamanda yaş ile de artış gösterdiğini saptadık 22,29 . Yaş ile akne sıklığının artışı, aknenin puberte ve dolayısıyla hormonal denge ile direk ilişkili olmayıp; yaşla birlikte değişen beslenme tarzı, vücut kitle indeksi ve kozmetik kullanımının artışı gibi çoklu faktörlerle ilişkili olabilir.…”

Background and Design: Although acne vulgaris is generally regarded as a disease of adolescence period, it can occur in infancy, early childhood and prepubertal period. Acne may emerge as the first sign of pubertal maturation. In our study, we aimed to determine the acne prevalence in primary school children, then, evaluate the pubertal signs in those children; examine the correlation of the presence and severity of acne with pubertal signs, and finally, revise the concept of prepubertal acne. Materials and Methods: A thousand students from 2 schools in Istanbul were included in the study. Age, gender, and the presence, localization and severity of acne were recorded. Acne severity was evaluated using the Orfanos-Gollnick Acne Grading System while a validated self evaluation form which had been developed by Morris and Udry was used to evaluate pubertal stage. Data were evaluated statistically. Results: Five hundred and thirty-four male and 466 female primary school children, with an age range of 7 to 11, were included in the study. Acne was determined in 11.5% of the students. 20% of girls and 4% of boys had acne. Comparing acne presence and age, the average age was higher in group with acne than those with no acne. The mean age of children with grade 1 acne was lower than those with grade 2 acne. All the students with acne had mid-facial acne. Comparing acne presence and pubertal symptoms, the rate of the presence of acne was higher in pubertal girls. No acne was observed in prepubertal boys. Evaluating acne severity and pubertal signs, the difference between prepubertal
