Overview

Cross-sectional study finds higher adherence to national dietary guidelines associates with lower hidradenitis suppurativa severity, indicating potential benefits of healthy diet.

Key Points

To describe dietary patterns among individuals with hidradenitis suppurativa and evaluate whether adherence to national dietary guidelines associates with disease severity.
Conducted a cross-sectional study of 131 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa across two outpatient dermatology clinics from September 2023 to November 2024.
Dietary intake was measured via a food frequency questionnaire and classified into low, intermediate, or high adherence to Danish Health Authority guidelines.
Disease severity was assessed using the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4) and analyzed via multivariable logistic regression adjusted for obesity and smoking.
Among the 131 participants, 99 had mild-to-moderate disease (IHS4 < 11) and 25 had severe disease (IHS4 ≥ 11), with 11% practicing intermittent fasting and 16.5% noting specific foods altered symptoms.
Intake frequencies of sweets, fast food, fish, vegetables, and wholegrain did not differ between patients with mild-to-moderate and severe disease.
Greater adherence to national dietary guidelines significantly associated with reduced disease severity after adjusting for obesity and smoking (p = 0.003).
