Results and Conclusions: Of the study group 910 (40.9%) were male. Their ages ranged from 18-95 years (Mean age: 47.2±16.7). The prevalence of acne rosacea was 22.6% (n = 504). Being over the age of 55, obesity, primary school or lower education, history of complaints related to the face, family history of acne rosacea and personal history of head and/or neck treatment were identified as important risk factors for acne rosacea.
