Description
Summary:Psoriasis is a chronic multisystemic disease associated with multiple comorbidities such as obesity, obesity being a relevant risk factor for the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is known as a complex disorder that combines abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance/insulin resistance (diabetes mellitus), dyslipidemia and arterial hypertension. Existing literature shows that psoriasis is associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to clarify the possible association, in terms of comorbidity, between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome.
