Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and degree of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and degree of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Material and Methods:We performed a cross-sectional study on 102 adult patients with PsA and a control group of 102 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MetS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. The… Show more

“…Our secondary hypothesis was that we are able to correlate the FOI results with cardiovascular risk factors since these risk factors are well known to be speci cally high in Pso/PsA patients. (5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) However, in our study, only the body weight had an in uence on the FOI results. In this respect, we did not measure the blood pressure directly before and after the FOI scan and did not do a full metabolic status on the patients.…”

“…(7,8) Furthermore, PsA patients reveal an increased prevalence of CV risk factors such as hypertension (9,10), diabetes mellitus (6,10), hyperlipidemia (10,11) and the full metabolic syndrome. (12)(13)(14)(15)(16) Accordingly, a signi cantly increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with PsA compared to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients was demonstrated recently (12), although comparable in ammatory pathways can be seen in both diseases. (17) Approaches to explain these phenomena have already been explored in various studies with different focus.…”

“…It is well known that metabolic syndrome is a common disorder among PsA patients (3,4). In this study, metabolic syndrome was seen in 21 patients (24.4 %), which was a lower rate than previously reported in literature (29,30).…”

“…Overweight and obesity are associated with a systemic low-grade inflammation, which might have influenced our results. Our secondary hypothesis was that we are able to correlate the FOI results with cardiovascular risk factors since these risk factors are well known to be specifically high in Pso/PsA patients [5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, in our study, only the body weight had an influence on the FOI results.…”

“…The increase in mortality seems to be associated with severity of PsA [ 6 ] and disease duration [ 7 , 8 ]. Furthermore, PsA patients reveal an increased prevalence of CV risk factors such as hypertension [ 9 , 10 ], diabetes mellitus [ 6 , 10 ], hyperlipidemia [ 10 , 11 ], and the full metabolic syndrome [ 12 16 ]. Accordingly, a significantly increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with PsA compared to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients was demonstrated recently [ 12 ], although comparable inflammatory pathways can be seen in both diseases [ 17 ].…”
