Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular atherosclerosis. Metabolic syndrome, a conglomerate of various clinical and biochemical parameters is a significant predictor of atherosclerotic disease and the associated risk for cardiovascular events in such patients. Aim: To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriasis. Methods: The study is a prospective, hospital based case-control study involving 80 cases and 80 controls. Venous samples were taken at the enrolment visit after the subjects had fasted overnight (at least 8h). Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were measured with enzymatic procedures. Plasma glucose was measured using glucose oxidase method. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by the presence of three or more criteria of national cholesterol education programme’s adult panel III (ATP III).
