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 our study we 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 to determine a cut‐off point that approximates the real clinical practice by differentiating patients with systemic or biological treatment.
