Bu çalışmada sırtta striae distensae sıklığının, klinik özelliklerinin ve olası risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Yöntem: 2021-2022 öğretim yılı Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dönem 5 öğrencilerinin tamamı çalışmaya dahil edildi. Öğrencilerin sosyodemografik ve medikal hikayeleri alındıktan sonra, ayrıntılı sırt muayeneleri aynı dermatolog tarafından yapıldı.Bulgular: 171 öğrencinin 86&#039;sı (%50.3) kadın, 85&#039;i (%49.7) erkekti. Kızların 9&#039;unda (%10.5), erkeklerin 33&#039;ünde (%38.8) sırtta striae distensae saptandı ve bu istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p&amp;lt;0.001). Sırtta striası olan erkeklerin boyları, olmayanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunurken, sırtta striası olan ve olmayan kadınlarda boy açısından anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Sırtta striae distensae olan öğrencilerin, tamamında gluteal bölgede (%100) stria mevcuttu ve bunu uyluklar (%66.7), üst kollar (%47.6) ve popliteal bölge (%47.6) takip ediyordu.Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları; sırtta striae distensae varlığının erkek cinsiyet ve uzun boy ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Sırttaki striaların; sağlık çalışanları tarafından tanınması, fiziksel istismarın bir bulgusu olmadığı ile ilgili farkındalığın artırılması, hasta ve ailesi için gereksiz rahatsızlıkların önüne geçecektir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Objective: Back localized striae distensae in adolescents can sometimes be misdiagnosed as a sign of physical abuse, since it is not well known by health personnel. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical features and possible risk factors of striae distensae on the back.Method: All 5th term students of Aydın Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine in the 2021-2022 academic year were included in the study. After taking the sociodemographic and medical histories of the students, detailed back examinations were performed by the same dermatologist.Results: Out of the 171 students, 86 (50.3%) were female and 85 (49.7%) were male. Striae distensae on the back was detected in 9 (10.5%) women and 33 (38.8%) men, which was statistically significant (p&amp;lt;0.001). While the height of men with striae on the back was found to be significantly higher than those without striae on the back, there was no significant difference in height in women with and without striae on the back. All students with striae on the back had striae on the gluteal region (100%), followed by the thighs (66.7%), upper arms (47.6%), and popliteal (47.6%).Conclusion: This study show that striae distensae on the back is associated with male gender and tall stature. The recognition of striae on the back by healthcare professionals will raise the awareness that it is not a sign of physical abuse and will further prevent unnecessary discomfort for the patients and their families.</p></trans-abstract>
