Obese children more likely to develop psoriasis

[Fred]

Interesting .. wonder if it holds any truth for adults as well.  I didn't have psoriasis as a child, nor was I overweight in any way.  However, I did become overweight in my 40's and obese (I hate that word, I mean the actual word... dunno why) in my 50's and it was then that I started having psoriasis.  I don't think one caused the other, just seems everything else is tied to be overweight. 

I know that's not true of you guys, just wondering if there was any correlation in adults.

I wasn't obese as a child (and I hate that word too) I was 25 slim and very fit when I first got psoriases and 30 when I got psoriatic arthritis.

Not much help with the study but yes my doctors tell me I'm too heavy today, but I reply "I'm happy"
