THE PREVALENCE OF ACNE VULGARIS IN ADOLESCENCE
Abstract
SUMMARY.— We examined 1555 school children aged 8 to 18 and graded them according to the presence and severity of acne lesions on the face and neck. Comedones were present in a large proportion of even the youngest children and were virtually universal by the mid‐teens. Clinical acne appeared 2 years earlier in girls than boys and the maximum prevalence was reached at age 14 in girls and 16 in boys. Thereafter the prevalence of the more severe grades of acne continued to increase steadily in boys, but declined in girls. The age of the menarche in girls did not affect the severity of acne which ultimately developed. More girls than boys sought medical advice despite the generally milder form of the disease in girls.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
