Abstract

Introduction: Psoriasis is recognized as a systemic disease, and some studies have associated this disease with other entities, such as the metabolic syndrome, which has a significant association with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Its impact on patients´ lives is not only related with the physical, but also with the other components of quality of life, including psychological, social, sexual and occupational elements.
Materials and methods: A prospective and descriptive study that included patients with psoriasis was made; Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were measured; and the presence of metabolic syndrome components based on the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) to South American populations was established.
Results: We included 52 patients, 26 men and 26 women, whose age range was located mainly between 41 and 64 years old (69.2%), psoriasis was mostly mild in 67.3%, quality of life was affected in 84.6% of patients. Metabolic syndrome was present in 59.6% and psoriatic arthritis in 19.2%.
Conclusion: The results of this study will become a baseline of the behavior of psoriasis in a Colombian population, because nowadays there is little information about this topic.
