Abstract

Objectives: To know the frequency of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Psoriasis who come to the consultation of the Dermatology Service of the Autonomous University Hospital of the Andes November 2017 to May 2018.

Materials and Methods: Observational analytical descriptive study. Patients with Psoriasis diagnoses who attended the dermatology office were selected, PASI, ATP-III, Framingham and GLOBORISK were applied.

Results: 55 patients, 55% men and 45% women, there was statistical correlation between older age groups and PASI index (p=0.023). The main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were smoking, sedentary lifestyle and obesity, statistical correlation was found for sedentary lifestyle (p=0.047). The main non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were Hypertension and Diabetes showing both statistical significance (p=0.004), (p=0.0001). The ATP-III criteria showed statistical significance for Hypertension, glycemia, total cholesterol and low HDL (p=0.003, p=0.008, p=0.027, p=0.017). The frequency of metabolic syndrome represented 47.27% of the sample. The most affected gender was male (61.54%). Statistical correlation was found in the older age groups for the presence of Metabolic Syndrome (p=0.0001). The group with the highest frequency of metabolic syndrome was the one with 6 to 10 years of the disease (p=0.001). When applying the Framingham and GLOBORISK scores, there were higher scores in the patients as PASI was increased.

Conclusion: There is a higher frequency of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Psoriasis, so it is recommended to establish measures aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in these patients.
