Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome(MS) in patients with psoriasis,and explore the clinical features of the patients with metabolic syndrome-associated psoriasis.Methods Two hundred and two patients with psoriasis were investigated by face-to-face questionnaire,physical and laboratory examinations.Information included age,sex,the age of onset,duration of the disease,disease severity,family history,education level,waistline,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),triglyceride(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and blood pressure(BP).The diagnosis of MS was established according to the criteria of International Diabetes Federation(IDF).Results ① Of 202 patients with psoriasis,45 suffered from metabolic syndrome,accounting for 22.27%.② The patients with metabolic syndrome-associated psoriasis always had significantly higher average age and the age of onset,longer disease history and severer symptoms than those psoriasis patients without metabolic syndrome(P0.05).③ The patients with metabolic syndrome-associated psoriasis had significantly longer waistline,fasting plasma glucose,triglyceride,blood pressure and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than the psoriasis patients without metabolic syndrome(P0.05).Conclusion Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent among the patients with psoriasis,which might be associated with smoking and drinking.
