Psoriasis: familial predisposition and environmental factors.

Abstract: In a survey for coronary risk factors 14 667 adult men and women answered a questionnaire on lifestyle, diet, and health, including whether they had psoriasis. The overali prevalence of psoriasis was 4-79% in men and 4-85% in women. The data showed an increasing incidence of psoriasis. The association with family history, lifestyle, diet, and health was explored by multiple regression analysis.

“…Little is known about mortality in this patient group, although alcohol-and smoking-related diseases are associated with psoriasis, 1 and patients with psoriasis have reported higher alcohol and cigarette consumption than control patients in several studies, [2][3][4][5][6][7] suggesting that excess mortality due to alcohol-and tobacco-related causes might be found among patients with psoriasis. We therefore studied mortality in patients with psoriasis.…”

“…Klinik muayene içeren toplum bazlı çalışmaların iş gücü ve ekonomik zorlukları, psoriasis sıklığını kabaca belirlemede anket bazlı çalışmaları popülerleştirmiştir. Psoriasisin Avrupa'daki en yüksek prevalans değerini gösteren Norveç çalışması 8 veya kuzey Amerika'daki hastalık sıklığını bildiren önemli çalışmalar 9 anket çalışmalarıdır. İspanya'da, genel psoriasis prevalansını bildiren ilk çalışma, telefonla görüşme yolu ile yapılan bir anket çalışması olup, güney Avrupa'dan bu ülkede psoriasis prevalansı %1,43 olarak saptamıştır 10 .…”

“…Psoriasis prevalansının Kuzey Avrupa'da dünyanın diğer bölgelerine göre daha yüksek olduğu kabul edilmektedir 11 . Avrupa'da, %4,8 ile en yüksek prevalansı bildiren anket çalışması, 14667 kişinin değerlendirildiği Norveç çalışmasıdır 8 . Norveç'te hastalığın sıklığını bu çalışmadan daha düşük, %1,4 olarak bildiren diğer çalışma ise sağlık ekibinin görüşmesi yolu ile verilerini toplamıştır 12 .…”
