“…A number of environmental and lifestyle factors have been associated with risk of psoriasis based on the cohorts. Specifically, we provided the first prospective evidence linking obesity, 8 smoking, 9,10 alcohol intake, 11 and lack of physical activity 12 with risk of incident psoriasis (see the online appendix for additional related NHS/NHSII publications). Since the first provocative report on obesity and risk of psoriasis in 2007, 8 we have published several manuscripts on similar themes, providing more evidence linking major components of obesity and metabolic syndrome to risk of psoriasis.…”

Objective To review the contribution of the Nurses' Health Studies (NHSs) to identifying epidemiologic factors for multiple skin diseases, including skin cancer, psoriasis, and other inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases. Methods Narrative review of the publications of the NHSs (1976-2016). Results The cohorts have identified environmental and lifestyle factors of psoriasis, supporting obesity and smoking as psoriasis risk factors; associations of diabetes, myocardial infarction, and Crohn's disease with psoriasis, supporting psoriasis as a systemic disorder; associations of pigmentary traits, UV radiation, and lifestyle factors such as citrus consumption and risk of skin cancer. Genetic studies spanning from candidate gene studies to genome-wide association studies have identified novel genetic loci for skin pigmentation (such as IRF4, SLC24A4, NID1, and EDNRB) and skin cancer (such as TET2 and HERC2-OCA2). Work continues on highly prevalent but less studied skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, and atopic dermatitis. Our results have influenced public health policy on anti-indoor tanning for skin cancer prevention. Conclusion The NHSs have provided invaluable resources on skin disease population science and contributed to the etiologic understanding of multiple skin disorders.

“…For example, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours and psychological distress may contribute to triggering psoriasis onset or exacerbation (Fortes et al, 2005;Setty, Curhan, & Choi, 2007;Wolk et al, 2009), or alternatively, they may occur as consequences of living with this socially stigmatizing and highly disabling condition (Rapp et al, 1999). Furthermore, weight loss, healthy diet, and activity patterns are associated with improvements in psoriasis severity (Frankel, Han, Li, & Qureshi, 2012;Jensen et al, 2013;Rucevic, Perl, Barisic-drusko, & Adam-Perl, 2003). Weight loss has also been shown to improve response to systemic psoriasis treatments (Gisondi, Del Giglio, Di Francesco, Zamboni, & Girolomoni, 2008).…”

The role of personal models in clinical management: Exploring health care providers’ beliefs about psoriasis

What is already known on this subject? Health behaviour is predicted by underlying beliefs and emotions associated with an illness and its treatment. Few studies have examined health care providers' beliefs and emotions about the illnesses they manage in clinical practice. Many patients are dissatisfied with dermatology consultations and wish to be treated holistically. What does this study add? Qualitative exploration of health care providers' beliefs/emotions revealed their personal models of psoriasis. Providers' personal models of psoriasis vary in coherence and are often skin rather than whole person focused. Further investigation of health care providers' models of psoriasis and their impact on health outcomes is needed.

“…6 Further, existing and recent qualitative research suggests that health professionals fail to acknowledge this distress and they lack the knowledge and expertise to manage psoriasis as a long-term condition, often leading to patients disengaging from expert healthcare. These include excess alcohol intake and smoking, 9 excessive weight gain and living a sedentary lifestyle, 10 all of which contribute to both psoriasis onset [11][12][13][14] and severity.

“…11 The amount of fat, and its distribution and location in the body are also recognized as risk factors for psoriasis onset. 14 Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours also contribute to psoriasis severity. 20 A recent study also suggests that regular vigorous physical activity is associated with decreased risk of psoriasis onset.…”
