Adherence to Mediterranean diet in Spanish patients with psoriasis: Cardiovascular benefits?

Abstract

Several studies have evaluated the role of individual nutrients on psoriasis. Only a few of them have evaluated the benefits of healthy dietary patterns and the effect of the Mediterranean diet on psoriasis with promising results. Moderate–severe psoriasis is associated with chronic systemic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk. In this study the present authors measure the adherence to the Mediterranean diet to determine the grade of association with severity of psoriasis, a cardiovascular profile, and systemic inflammation. Our aim was to determine a cut‐off point that approximates the real clinical practice by differentiating patients with systemic or biological treatment.

Impact of the Level of Adherence to Mediterranean Diet on the Parameters of Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

“…Not relevant to the topic examined studies, studies including population <18 years old, studies in which validated tool for assessment of MD were not used and in which the level of adherence was not clearly described were excluded. Overall, 58 studies were characterized as acceptable for the systematic review [ 39 , 40 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 49 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 ,…”

Long-term prognostic value of coronary flow reserve in psoriasis patients

“…For example, the Western diet, mainly characterized by meat consumption, is positively associated with inflammatory biomarkers, while the Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce some inflammatory biomarkers. Several studies have evaluated the role of individual nutrients on psoriasis [40]. In particular, the greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a lesser severity of psoriasis, both objective and subjective, independently of the modalty of treatment and the presence of obesity, and lower levels of C-reactive protein [41].…”

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet is independently associated with psoriasis risk, severity, and quality of life: a cross‐sectional observational study

“…The mediterranean diet score Jailhouse self-induced lesions by misuse of salbutamol inhaler Deliberate misuse of salbutamol inhaler in order to self-inflict skin injuries has been reported in the literature mostly among kids and teenagers, usually because of psychological distress or just for fun. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] We report a case in an adult inmate in order to have a "pseudo-tattooed" letter on his skin.…”

“…4,5 To date, very few studies have evaluated its association with psoriasis risk and severity. [6][7][8] Thus, our aim was to explore the independent association of adherence to the Mediterranean diet with psoriasis occurrence, severity, and quality of life.…”
