| dc.description.abstract | Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit, with a polymorphic clinical picture consisting of various skin disorders in the form of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and scarring. The growth of acne vulgaris is caused by various factors such as genetics, endocrine (pituitary sebotropic androgens), dietary factors, the activity of the sebaceous glands, psychological factors, season, stress factors, bacterial infections (Cutibacterium acnes), cosmetics, and other chemicals. Acne vulgaris can be caused by increased sebum production. Whey protein is also associated with potential acne triggers because it contains 6 growth factors associated with acne (transforming growth factor 2, insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-2, platelet-derived growth factor and fibroblast growth factor-1 and fibroblast growth factor-2) and is used as a supplement by young people trying to increase muscle mass. Objective: To find out the description of the knowledge of gym users on the relationship between consuming milk protein and the incidence of acne vulgaris. Methods: This research is a descriptive study using a cross sectional study approach. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique, namely consecutive sampling with a sample size of 67 people using a questionnaire. Results: A total of 67 gym users were selected as samples where the knowledge in the good category was as many as 3 people (4,5%), followed by the adequate category with the number of 24 people (35,8%) and the less category of 40 people (59,7%). Most sources of information obtained about the relationship of consuming milk protein to the incidence of acne vulgaris is from social media. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of gym users at the Grand Olympus Gym regarding the relationship between consuming milk protein and the incidence of acne vulgaris in general had less knowledge. | en_US |
