摘要
Background: Psoriasis has been associated with cardiovascular diseases, but its relationship to markers of subclinical atherosclerosis has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the study is to analyze the association of psoriasis with common carotid artery intima+media thickness (CCA-IMT) and plaque prevalence of the carotid arteries. Methods: Data of 1987 men and women aged 25-88 years from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) in north-eastern Germany were used. Cross-sectional associations of psoriasis with IMT and carotid plaque prevalence were analyzed using linear and logistic regression models adjusted for relevant confounders (age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, waist circumference, physical activity, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive medication, acetylsalicylic acid, HbA(1c), total/HDL cholesterol ratio, lipid-lowering medication). Results: Psoriasis was associated with mean CCA-IMT, but not with carotid plaque prevalence. Comparisons between subjects with and without psoriasis showed an adjusted mean difference of the CCA-IMT of 0.016 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.004 mm-0.028 mm, p < 0.01) and an odds ratio for plaque prevalence of 1.12 (95% CI: 0.85-1.47) after adjusting for confounders. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that psoriasis is associated with increased carotid mean IMT and might therefore contribute to the atherosclerotic process and subsequent cardiovascular events.
