TLDR:
Compared with non-consumers, the pooled OR was 1.16 (95% CI 1.09–1.24) for overall milk consumers in all included studies, and 1.17 (95% CI 1.10–1.24) in cohort studies and 1.16 (95% CI 1.09–1.24) in case–control or cross-sectional studies. Subgroup analysis on milk forms determined a stronger association in skim milk consumers (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.13–1.37) than in low-fat consumers (OR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.08–1.22) and full-fat consumers (OR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.05–1.21). The pooled OR was greater for high intake level of milk (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.01–1.24) than medium intake level of milk (OR = 1.08, 95% CI 1.00–1.17). A subset study of moderate-to-severe acne also found a positive association with milk consumption (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.01–1.37), while no statistically significant association was found between mild acne risk and milk consumption (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.86–1.51).
This meta-analysis provides evidence of a positive association between milk consumption and acne risk.
