Metabolic syndrome more common in patients with psoriatic arthritis

[Caroline]

I didn't eat more in my younger days after being diagnosed, I ate more after giving up smoking.

For me psoriasis came first, I was very very fit but becoming so called "Obese" didn't come till my late 50s.

Well.. I am certainly not obese myself. But I do know several people with psoriasis, who are thicker than normal.
But on the other side, I also know some very skinny people who have psoriasis…

Finally it are the numbers that count. … If you research the correct parameters.
