Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be seen at any stage of life. Diet is thought to be effective in AV formation. The dietary inflammatory in-dex (DII) determines how inflammatory a diet is. We hypoth-esized that DII is associated with AV and a biochemical pa-rameter in women.Methods: In the study performed on 68 women (34 cases and 34 controls) between the ages of 19-35 at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Dermatology Polyclinic, AV severity was determined by the responsible dermatologist and blood samples were taken from the individuals. Three-day food consumption records from women were used in the DII calculation. DII scores were divided into tertiles according to women with and without AV. The socio-demographic informa-tion and anthropometric measurements of the women were recorded face-to-face with a questionnaire.Results: Cases had higher DII scores than controls. When DII scores were divided into tertiles, the most proinflamma-tory group was found to be tertile 3+. It was determined that the women in the most proinflammatory group had higher body weight and body mass index (BMI) values compared to other tertiles.Conclusion: The study's results suggest that as the DII score increases, the diet has a pro-inflammatory effect asso-ciated with AV. Including sufficient anti-inflammatory foods in their diets to decrease DII of individuals will help prevent AV formation and/or reduce lesions.
