Abstract

Severe psoriasis is associated with a significantly higher prevalence of risk factors for CVD. The prevalence of MS, insulin resistance and lipid abnormalities in patients with psoriasis aged 30 to 49 years is similar to the general Polish population. Abdominal obesity is more common in psoriatic patients and hypertension in men with psoriasis.
