Background

Little is known about the effects of different dietary patterns on facial wrinkling.

Objective

We aimed to investigate the association between diet and facial wrinkles in a population-based cohort of 2,753 elderly participants of the Rotterdam Study.

Methods

Wrinkles were digitally quantified as the area in facial photographs they occupied as a percentage of the total skin area. Diet was assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Adherence to the Dutch Healthy Diet Index (DHDI) was calculated. In addition, we used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to extract relevant food patterns in men and women separately. All food patterns and the DHDI were analyzed for association with wrinkle severity using multivariable linear regression.

Results

Better adherence to the Dutch guidelines was significantly associated with less wrinkles among women but not in men. In women, a red meat and snack dominant PCA pattern was associated with more facial wrinkles whereas a fruit dominant PCA pattern associated with fewer wrinkles.

Limitations

Due to the cross-sectional design of our study, no causation can be proved. Health-conscious behavior could have influenced our results.

Conclusion

Dietary habits associate with facial wrinkling in women. Global disease prevention strategies might benefit from emphasizing that a healthy diet is also linked to less facial wrinkling.

在一个大型的荷兰人口为基础的队列中，女性的健康饮食与较少的面部皱纹相关

背景

关于不同的饮食方式对面部皱纹的影响知之甚少。

客观的

我们的目的是在以鹿特丹研究为基础的2 753名老年参与者的队列研究中，研究饮食与面部皱纹之间的关系。

方法

将皱纹数字化量化为面部照片中它们占皮肤总面积的百分比。使用食物频率问卷评估饮食。计算对荷兰健康饮食指数（DHDI）的依从性。此外，我们使用主成分分析（PCA）分别提取了男性和女性的相关食物模式。使用多变量线性回归分析所有食物类型和DHDI与皱纹严重程度的关系。

结果

更好地遵守荷兰指南与女性皱纹减少有关，而与男性皱纹较少有关。在女性中，以红色肉类和零食为主的PCA模式与更多的面部皱纹相关，而以水果为主的PCA模式与较少的皱纹相关。

局限性

由于我们研究的横断面设计，因此无法证明因果关系。注重健康的行为可能会影响我们的结果。

结论

饮食习惯与女性面部皱纹有关。全球疾病预防策略可能会受益于强调健康饮食也可以减少面部皱纹。
