Rosacea - Is it Really "The Curse of the Celts?"

It is widely reported that Rosacea tends to affect people of north-west patrick's day celebrations occur and this could indicate a connection between Irish heritage and the skin condition. Alcohol is a known trigger for people who are susceptible to rosacea, causing a flushed face or reddened cheeks. The Rosacea Awareness Program (RAP), winner of various Canadian Dermatology Awards says 'St. Patrick Celebration may bring on the Curse of the Celts'. Studies confirm a genetic predisposition to rosacea. In the USA, rosacea is also relatively common and affects over 14 million people. Again it is significant enough for there to be a Rosacea awareness month, which is in April. In a 1989 study of 800 office workers in Sweden, the prevalence of rosacea was 10%. In Ireland, rosacea is said to be one of the most common skin complaints and the expression 'Irish Bosco Cheeks' is not uncommon. Rosy red cheeks are caused by mild rosacea; bosco was an Irish puppet with very red cheeks.

Rosacea - Is it Really "The Curse of the Celts?"

If it is said to affect over 14 million people in the USA, this can be changed into a 'percentage of the population' and is approximately 5% of the population. If it affects over 1.5 million people in Canada, this can also be turned into a percentage figure and is approximately 5% of the population. It is reported in a study that the prevalence in Sweden is 10% It is reported that in the UK, 1 in 10 people are affected, which is 10% A study in Ireland showed 14.4% of 1,000 subjects examined had rosacea. Putting these statistics into a table:

Ireland 14.4%
UK 10%
Sweden 10%
USA 5%
Canada 5%

The incidence in Ireland is 44% higher than the next country in the table and almost three times higher than in countries like the USA and Canada

Evidence of a genetic predisposition.

In the Canadian rosacea study 'all respondents gave their ancestral communities of origin as south-western England or south-eastern Ireland'. South-western England has close links with south-eastern Ireland

Does it really affect more women then men?

In a US study, the prevalence rate of rosacea in 'Caucasian women' was 16 percent, which is considerably higher than the incidence among men, as only 5% of the population have rosacea. In the Swedish study, the rate was 14% in women and 6% in men. Conclusion: The incidence of rosacea in Ireland is significantly higher than the other countries included in this study, it is also established that there is a genetic predisposition. Based on these assumptions, it would seem that the term 'curse of the Celts' can be justified.
