%X Aim: To determine the relation between basal metobolic rate and acne vulgaris in the teenage population.Material and Methods: We studied basal metabolic rate in 106 boarding school boys, all 14 years old (53 with acne, 53 without acne) .BMR measurement is done from 8 points, 4 extremities and body with bioimpedance device In Body 230. Results; In the group with acne Basal Metabolic Rate was higher than control group . There is a significant difference between two groups (p=0.009). Conclusion; Acne vulgaris increases basal metabolic rate in this young population. The reasons of that may be stress, social anxiety and social avoidance etc. Consequently Psichologycal support isn¡¯t negligible for acne treatment.
