Table 4. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identifying determinants of acne prevalence.

This table presents the results of a multivariable logistic regression analysis identifying determinants of acne prevalence among the study population. The model adjusts for demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and perceptions related to acne. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals are reported. A reference category is used for comparative purposes within categorical variables. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
