Psoriasis can be caused by many conditions and dysfunctions. Here’s a list: Crohn’s disease (or diabetes), depression, Metabolic Syndrome, obesity, Metabolic syndrome and liver disease.
Crohn’s Disease: Psoriasis, Crohn’s Disease and IBS are all connected. A recent study on women suffering from psoriasis found that 10% developed an inflammatory bowel disorder, such as Crohn’s Disease or ulcerative Colitis.
Diabetes: People with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, according to a 2012 study. Particularly, people with severe psoriasis are 30 more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
Depression: Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis can cause considerable emotional distress for people, including low self-esteem, and an increased chance of mood disorders, such as depression.
Metabolic Syndrome: There is a significant association between psoriatic disease and metabolic syndrome – a cluster of conditions that include heart disease, abdominal obesity and high blood pressure. An analysis of 6 ,500 individuals found that 40% of people with psoriasis had metabolic disorder, as opposed to 23% of the general population. Metabolic syndrome was more common in women than it is in men with psoriasis.
Obesity: Since long time, researchers have known that people with psoriatic diseases are more likely than the general population to be overweight. Recent research continues to investigate the link between the two. One study found that children with psoriasis are at greater risk of becoming obese than those without it. Another showed that being overweight at 18 increases the likelihood of developing psoriatic symptoms.
Osteoporosis: A study of people with psoriatic disease showed that 60 percent of patients had osteopenia, an early form of the bone disease, osteoporosis, and 18 percent had progressed to osteoporosis.
Uveitis Your risk of developing uveitis (an inflammatory eye disease) is increased if you have psoriatic or psoriatic arthritis. Recent studies show that uveitis will affect about 7 percent of those with psoriatic.
Liver Disease Recent studies have shown that people with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis are more likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, also known as NAFLD.
Cancer – Many studies have shown that people suffering from psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis are at greater risk for certain types of skin cancers, including non-melanoma and lymphoma.
Cardiovascular Disease: Research continues to link psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, especially in people with severe psoriasis. One study found that people with severe psoriasis have 58 percent higher chances of having a major heart event and 43% greater likelihood of suffering from a stroke.
