“…There are few genetic and epidemiological studies on psoriasis disease in our country. In our study, we found significant differences in age between the patient and control group: mean age was 29.08±16.46 and 31.8±11.2 years in the patient and control group respectively (P = 0.05), which is less compared to other studies [25,26]. Early onset ≤ 30 years of the psoriasis disease was predominant (71%) than the late onset ˃ 30 years.…”

“…This was minimally different than onset at aged 26.4, 29.1, 33.6 to 33.4, and 35.1 years in Nepal, Spain, Italy, and Malaysia, respectively. 2,7,14,15 Regardless of disease onset, we observed an increase in PASI score with both the age of the patient and the duration of disease (P \.001).…”

“…Male predominance (56%) was similar to that reported from Nepal, Maghreb, and Malaysia (53.7%, 55.7%, and 56.6%, respectively). 2,7,11 In contrast, a female predominance was reported by some Western counties such as Denmark (53.2%) and in Minnesota. [8][9][10] In accordance with previous reports, 11 the mean age at onset was 30.5 years, with 69.8% of patients classified as having type 1 psoriasis, 14.2% of whom were younger than 16 years.…”

“…Song et al (2017) reported that psoriasis lesions were most frequently found in the lower leg (72.6%, n=913), followed by the back (60.9%, n=766), upper leg (60.8%, n=764), elbow (58.0%, n=729), knee (57.1%, n=718), lower arm (56.8%, n=714), abdomen (55.7%, n=700), upper arm (53.5%, n=672), and scalp (53.1%, n=668). Mikrani and Shrestha (2014) found that extensor surface of the body was most commonly involved. In the present study, the duration of disease was 12-24 months in 50.9% patients followed by <12months (26.4%) and >24months (22.6%).…”
