OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitiligo and associated factors among patients visiting the dermatologic outpatient departments at Tibebe Ghion Specialized Hospital and Addisalem Primary Hospitals, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, from September 15 to November 15, 2023.
RESULTS: Among the 460 patients studied, 243 (52.8%) were female, with the majority (28.9%) aged between 25 and 34 years. The overall prevalence of vitiligo was found to be 7.4% (34 patients). Significant predictors of vitiligo included rural residence (AOR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.10-9.18), family history of vitiligo (AOR: 2.20; 95% CI: 2.16-4.76), and aggravating factors such as trauma (AOR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.01-2.08). The highest prevalence was observed in the 14-24 age group. These findings suggest the importance of awareness campaigns focusing on the causes, symptoms, and treatments of vitiligo, particularly among young adults in rural areas.
