Methods: A sample of 102 adult women aged 20s to 50s years old were conveniently recruited at several skin care center and cosmetics shops in Daegu, Korea. The subjects were examined for skin health status by Aramo-SG (AramHuvis Inc., Korea). The demographic and lifestyle characteristics and skincare behaviors surveyed by self-administered questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the factors related with skin health status using SPSS 18.0.
Results: In univariate analysis, Aged over 30s (p<0.001), married (p<0.001) and appropriate drink (p=0.040) were positively associated with skin health status among demographic and lifestyle characteristics. Among the skincare behaviors, experience of homecare only significantly associated with skin health status (p=0.007). In multivatiate analysis, age and experience of homecare were independently significantly associated with skin health status after adjusting for other variables.
