Puntos clave

• Utilized UK Biobank data for a cohort study design
• Evaluated physical activity levels against seborrheic dermatitis incidences
• Analyzed depressive symptoms as a potential mediating factor
• Increased physical activity, especially at 3-5 times the recommended level, correlated with lower rates of seborrheic dermatitis
• Evidence suggests that alleviating depressive symptoms plays a role in this relationship
