This meta-analysis found a positive link between alcohol consumption and psoriasis risk. Higher daily alcohol intake, especially over 45g, significantly increases the odds of developing psoriasis.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- The relationship between alcohol consumption and psoriasis remains unclear due to inconsistent study findings.
- No previous dose-response meta-analysis has quantified this association.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and the risk of developing psoriasis.
- To provide a quantitative assessment of alcohol's impact on psoriasis incidence.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted on Embase and MEDLINE.
- Restricted cubic spline analysis was employed for dose-response modeling.
- Data from 48 studies encompassing 1,702,847 individuals were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Alcohol consumption was positively associated with an increased odds ratio (OR) for psoriasis (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.27-1.70).
- The association was more pronounced in males (OR, 1.84) than females (OR, 1.22).
- Each additional gram of daily alcohol intake correlated with a 4% increase in psoriasis OR, with a prominent association observed for intakes exceeding 45g/day.
Conclusions:
- Alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for psoriasis.
- Higher levels of alcohol intake demonstrate a stronger association with psoriasis development.
- These findings highlight the importance of considering alcohol consumption in psoriasis prevention and management strategies.
