Psoriasis is associated with metabolic syndrome and its components, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension independent of traditional risk factors for these disorders. These phenotypically diverse conditions share similar pathologic changes, selected susceptibility genes and loci. Aim: To assess the association of Metabolic syndrome in patients of psoriasis vulgaris. Objectives: 1. To select clinically diagnosed cases of psoriasis vulgaris. 2. To study and evaluate the profile of psoriasis vulgaris patients. 3. To compare the cases with age and sex matched control groups. 4. To study the association of psoriasis vulgaris with metabolic syndrome. Study Design: Case Control study (200 cases and 200 controls).RESULTS: In our present study Metabolic Syndrome was present in 52(26%) of psoriatic cases in comparison to 20(10%) non psoriatic cases which came out to be statistically significant [Odds ratio (OR) - 3.162, Degree of freedom (df) –1, p – value-0.003, ? 2 -8.672].
