Impact of metabolic status on the incidence of psoriasis: a Korean nationwide cohort study
Abstract Growing evidence suggests that obesity is a risk factor for incident psoriasis. This study was aimed to evaluate the association of obesity and metabolic status with the incidence of psoriasis. A total of 418,057 adults were followed-up using a nationwide prospective cohort study in Korea....

| Sumario: | Abstract Growing evidence suggests that obesity is a risk factor for incident psoriasis. This study was aimed to evaluate the association of obesity and metabolic status with the incidence of psoriasis. A total of 418,057 adults were followed-up using a nationwide prospective cohort study in Korea. Participants were stratified based on the body mass index categories and metabolic condition. During the follow-up visit, 11054 (2.6%) cases were found to have psoriasis. Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity were all found to be risk factors for incident psoriasis. The metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO) subjects (hazard ratio [HR], 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22–1.37) and metabolically unhealthy obese subjects (MUO; HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1. 26–1.41) had a significantly higher risk of psoriasis incidence as compared to metabolically healthy non-obese subjects. The risk of psoriasis development was found to be high among the MUNO and MUO subjects in both sexes and all age groups. In conclusion, the metabolic health status was significantly associated with an increased risk of psoriasis in both obese and non-obese individuals. However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether the control of metabolic parameters can lower the incidence of psoriasis. |
