Cardiovascular, Kidney, Metabolic Health Linked to Risk for Psoriasis
Adults with poor cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health are at increased risk of developing psoriasis, particularly those with high genetic risk.
Poor cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health is significantly associated with a higher risk for psoriasis, according to a study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology.
- Researchers analyzed data from the UK Biobank project.
- They evaluated the association between CKM health and the risk for incident psoriasis.
- They also examined the effect of genetic susceptibility and CKM health on life expectancy among patients who developed psoriasis.
CKM health was defined as the presence of metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease.
