Abstract

Objective: To investigate the factors related to skin aging at the National Hospital of Dermatology. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 150 aging skin subjects at the National Hospital of Dermatology from July 2021 to October 2022. The collected information included gender, age, skin type according to Fitzpatrick classification, degree of skin aging according to Glogau classification, clinical features of skin aging according to SAS scale (Skin aging scale), Related factors including duration of sunlight exposure, stress level, sunscreen use habits, lifestyle behaviors (exercise, coffee drinking, tea drinking, smoking, staying up late,...). Results: There were 150 subjects including 69 males and 81 females, with a mean age of 40,59 ± 9,37 years old. There was no difference in mean SAS scores between groups with different times of sunlight exposure, sunscreen use, exercise frequency, coffee drinking, tea drinking, smoking, stay up late at night (p>0,05). There is a difference in mean SAS between the groups of subjects with different stress levels (p<0,05). Women have significantly higher wrinkles and sagging skin – sagging than men. Conclusion: Stress aggravates skin aging. Wrinkles and sagging skin is higher in women than in men. It is necessary to conduct research with a larger sample size to conclude the relationship between skin aging and other factors: sun exposure, sunscreen, and living habits...
