摘要

Background

Little is known about the impact of chronic comorbidities on the onset and progression of keloid. The association between keloid and metabolic syndrome has not been investigated in observational controlled studies.

Objective

To evaluate the association of keloid with obesity and hypertension using a population-based study.

Methods

Information was collected on 151 patients with keloids, anywhere on the body, who visited the Plastic Surgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, and 164 control participants. The patient and control groups had similar mean ages.

Results

The mean ages of the patients and controls were 34.74 ± 16.25 years, and 35.50 ± 12.45 years, respectively. In the univariate analysis and multivariate analyses, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR = 1.546; p = 0.077) and systolic hypertension (OR = 3.859; p = 0.024) were related to keloid. The two risk factors were independent.

Conclusions

Keloid was associated with overweight and systolic hypertension.

Level of Evidence III
