“…Current and former smokers are more susceptible to developing psoriasis than non-smokers. The study performed aimed at discovering the relation between the severity of the illness and the frequency of habits and cigarette use among psoriasis patients [ 34 ]. Harmful behaviors like smoking and drinking are common among psoriasis patients, and this is influenced by the condition's chronicity and incurability of psoriasis [ 34 ].…”

Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory condition, and psychiatric comorbidities are common in this condition. It is a non-communicable, autoimmune, and incurable disease. Psoriasis causes an adverse effect and is connected with various psychological symptoms like social isolation, guilt, and embarrassment of a patient. They decrease self-esteem because of depression, anxiety, stress, and substance abuse adults. The prevalence rate of adults is gradually increasing. This study uses various scales to evaluate the level of psoriasis. This study aims to evaluate the level of depression, anxiety, stress, and substance abuse among adult psoriasis patients and to identify the factors affecting psoriasis patients. A detailed search was carried out using essential databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and the World Health Organization (WHO) database to search for articles elucidating the same. In total articles, 36 out of 160 are selected. All studies found that psoriasis is at a positive level in that the level of depression and anxiety is moderate to severe, the level of stress is moderate, the level of alcohol abuse is higher, and the level of smoking consumption is ever-increasing. A severe skin condition that impacts the quality of life and psychological health. It has become a public health issue. All the selected articles assessed patients who were highly affected by depression, anxiety, stress, and abuse. They also assessed the various comorbidities related to psoriasis.

“…The relationship between alcohol consumption and psoriasis has long been controversial. Early research negated such connections, but observations carried out at the end of the 20th century showed significant relationships [30]. Alcohol may be a factor both initiating and intensifying inflammation by stimulating the multiplication of lymphocytes and the production of proinflammatory cytokines.…”

“…In addition, alcohol can directly induce the proliferation of keratinocytes and increase the mRNA expression of genes related to this phenomenon through the production of proteins such as alpha5 integrin, cyclin D1, and the keratinocyte growth factor receptor (KGFR) [31][32][33]. To date, a limited number of studies have looked at the relationship between the severity of psoriasis and alcohol consumption; however, the observations made thus far seem to indicate the existence of such a relationship [30][31][32].…”

In the available literature, little attention has been paid to the assessment of psoriasis and the biological therapy used for it and the nervous system. The purpose of this article is to discuss the relationship between psoriasis and the nervous system as well as to analyze the mechanisms that lead to neurological complications during anticytokine therapies in psoriasis. However, this connection requires further analysis. The use of biological drugs in psoriasis, although it yields positive therapeutic results, is not without numerous side effects. Serious neurological side effects of the therapy are most often visible with the use of anti-TNF-alpha, which is why patients should be monitored for their potential occurrence. Early detection of complications and rapid discontinuation of treatment with the drug may potentially increase the patient’s chances of a full recovery or improvement of his/her neurological condition. It also seems reasonable that, in the case of complications occurring during anti-TNF-alpha therapy, some of the drugs from other groups should be included in the therapy.

“…In addition, tobacco smoking can induce oxidative stress, free radical damage, increase vascular endothelial dysfunction, and immune cell activation, and can interact with the key signaling pathways in psoriasis pathogenesis. Multiple studies have been implemented previously to investigate the association between psoriasis and tobacco smoking, and tobacco smoking is proved as an independent risk factor that accounts for the increased prevalence of psoriasis ( 15 , 16 ). Therefore, advocating tobacco smoking cessation is crucial to curb the elevated prevalence and the severe influence of psoriasis in the world.…”

Prevalence of Tobacco Smoking and Its Association With Disease Severity Among Patients With Psoriasis in China: A Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2022

IntroductionTobacco smoking is associated with the onset and severity of psoriasis, and understanding the prevalence of tobacco smoking among patients with psoriasis is critical due to its high physical and mental influence and heavy disease burden. However, evidence on the association between tobacco smoking and psoriasis severity is still limited in China.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of tobacco smoking and explore the association between tobacco smoking and diseases severity among patients with psoriasis.MethodsA total of 4,529 patients with psoriasis in 200 selected hospitals were recruited in China between January 2020 and September 2021. Detailed information covering demographic feature, tobacco smoking, and psoriasis history were collected through an electronic questionnaire, and clinical data were extracted from the health information system (HIS). SAS 9.4 was used for data analysis, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe prevalence of tobacco smoking was 30.8%, with 24.6% for current smoking. The average Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score for patients with psoriasis was 9.4, with male patients having a higher PASI score than female patients. The odds ratio (OR) of former tobacco smoking prevalence was 1.5 [95% confidence interval (CI): (1.0–2.3)] for PASI score (3.0–7.0), 2.2 for PASI score (7.1–13.0), and 4.2 for PASI score >13, when compared with patients with PASI score < 3.0. Similarly, the OR of current tobacco smoking prevalence was 1.8 [95% CI: (1.5–2.2)] for PASI score (3.0–7.0), 1.9 for PASI score (7.1–13.0), and 3.1 for PASI score >13, when compared with patients with PASI score <3.0. The Spearman correlation analysis indicated that both tobacco smoking intensity and smoking duration were positively correlated with psoriasis severity (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe prevalence of tobacco smoking was high, especially among male patients with psoriasis and those with senior high education. Tobacco smoking was positively associated with psoriasis severity; moreover, both smoking intensity and smoking duration were positively correlated with the severity of psoriasis in a dose-dependent fashion.
