    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Alcoholism is a complex disease with significant health implications.
    • Previous studies have not consistently shown an association between psoriasis and alcoholism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of alcoholism in patients with psoriasis.
    • To compare alcoholism rates between psoriasis patients and a control group with other dermatologic conditions.
    • To explore a potential association between psoriasis and alcoholism, especially in males.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized National Council of Alcoholism diagnostic criteria and the Self-Administered Alcoholism Screening Test.
    • Compared 99 hospitalized psoriasis patients with an age- and sex-matched control group.

  • Analyzed alcoholism diagnosis rates and gender distribution in both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Alcoholism was diagnosed in 11 out of 99 psoriasis patients versus 3 controls (p < 0.10).
    • A significant difference was observed in male patients: 10 psoriatic patients were men compared to 1 man in the control group (p < 0.05).
    • These findings suggest a potential gender-specific association.

    Conclusions:

    • A higher prevalence of alcoholism was observed in male psoriasis patients compared to controls.
    • This association may indicate a shared underlying mechanism or that alcoholism exacerbates psoriasis.
    • Further investigation into the relationship between psoriasis and alcoholism in males is warranted.
