STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AND SOME RELATED FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH PSORIASIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Psoriasis is a multi-system disorder involving inflammatory responses, and its treatment can trigger lipid metabolism disorders. However, studies on this issue in Vietnam are still limited. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its related factors in patients with psoriasis. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on psoriasis patients visiting Can Tho Dermatology Hospital and the FOB International Dermatology and Aesthetic Research Institute from June 2022 to May 2024. Results: A total of 80 patients were included, with 47.5% being male. Male patients had higher levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol than females. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 62.5%. Dyslipidemia was more common in males than females, with rates of 73.7% and 52.4%, respectively. Alcohol consumption and early disease onset (before 30 years of age) were associated with dyslipidemia. Conclusion: Psoriasis patients have a relatively high prevalence of dyslipidemia. Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for dyslipidemia, while early disease onset appears to be a protective factor.
