“…According to our study, metabolic syndrome was seen mainly in patients with psoriasis vulgaris 44 out of 74 (59.4%) which was supported with study conducted by Das et al 18 However this observation was refuted by Lunawat et al where metabolic syndrome was more prevalent among palmoplantar psoriasis patients (63.27%) whereas in our study only 33.3% of palmoplantar psoriasis patients had metabolic syndrome. 7…”

“…Depending on PASI score, the disease can be mild (0-10), moderate (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) or severe (>20). Forty were having mild PASI score, 11 had moderate and three had severe PASI score (Table 4).…”

“…This was comparable to studies conducted by Lakshmi et al (66% v/s 23%) (p=0.021), Lunawat et al (62% v/s 34%) and Das et al respectively. 7,14,18 Higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome among female psoriatic patients can be explained by the lack of self-care and increased stress among female patients. In contrary, a study by Girisha et al showed a predominance of male psoriasis patients with metabolic syndrome although not statistically significant.…”

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a constellation of risk factors like central obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hypertension and glucose intolerance.Psoriasis is associated with MS and this may be contributed by various inflammatory mediators like interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α which are increased in psoriasis. Aim of the study is to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients and to find association between metabolic syndrome and severity of psoriasis using PASI score.Methods: A hospital based prospective observational cross sectional study was conducted in Vinayaka Missions Medical College and Hospital, Salem over a period of one year (June 2017 – June 2018) involving 100 psoriasis patients, included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were analyzed based on a standard proforma and metabolic syndrome was diagnosed with the South Asian Modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Panel III (SAM- NCEP ATP III).Results: In the present study, prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 54%. The risk factors noted were female gender (p=0.015), nail involvement (p=0.249), joint involvement (p=0.007) and increasing PASI score (p=0.194).There was no significant association between type of psoriasis and metabolic syndrome. Among the different components of metabolic syndrome, majority of psoriasis patients were having raised fasting blood sugar.Conclusions: The occurrence of metabolic syndrome is high in Indian population. Therefore apart from getting treated for psoriasis, patients should be screened for components of MS and should be followed up regularly for onset of components of MS.
