Metabolic syndrome in Lebanese patients with psoriasis

[jiml]

That's not good news, but perhaps a wake up call to those of us with a sedentary lifestyle that are overweight
And are likely to develop MBS  
Could it be that with psoriasis, as sufferers we tend not to get as much exercise as someone without psoriasis as its not a very " social" disease and many tend to keep themselves isolated and comfort eat.. Causing high blood pressure , obesity and the other things that cause pre diabetes or MBS

Just my thoughts

I would say you're on the right tracks.

#1 Psoriasis makes us self concious so we don't go out so much.

#2 We look for comfort from foods, alcohol, and tobacco.

#3 Exercise can be difficult especially if you have psoriatic arthritis.

We also have another similar study here: Psoriasis and metabolic syndrome

That is interesting as both studies have a similar outcome, it is an important finding and should spur us on to exercise more .... Which I can understand is difficult for PsA sufferers
But al least we are more aware of the dangers with you publishing this study
