Abstract:
Current evidence indicates that obesity may initiate psoriasis or worsen existing disease. Various factors contribute to the development of obesity, including eating disorders (EDs). The aim of this study was to screen for and identify factors associated with EDs in patients with psoriasis and their impact on the development of obesity in this population. Demographic information including body mass index (BMI), Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) scores were statistically analyzed for 82 participants with psoriasis at a tertiary dermatology clinic. It is important to manage obesity and other comorbidities of psoriasis in addition to treating its cutaneous manifestations, which may require a biopsychosocial approach.
