LOPEZ PUPO, Natacha et al. Risk factors and comorbidities in patients with psoriasis. MEDISAN [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.435-446.  Epub 28-Jun-2019. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study of 114 patients with diagnosis of psoriasis, assisted in the Dermatology Service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2014 to March, 2016, with the aim of identifying the risk factors and the comorbidities in them. Most of the members of the case material corresponded to the age group 30 to 45 years and to the female sex; in a same way, the smoking habit, sedentarism and the overweight prevailed as risk factors, and hypertension, hepatic esteatosis, psychiatric and cardiovascular changes as associate morbidities. It could be concluded that patients with psoriasis require a comprehensive and multidisciplinary care due to the great comorbidities frequency, which limit even more their life quality.
