Core Tip	Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome (Mets) and diabetes mellitus type 2, following a “dose-response” relationship from mild to severe psoriasis. Conversely, recent evidence from large prospective studies suggests that obesity constitutes a risk factor for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Both obesity, Mets and psoriasis, characterized as chronic inflammatory states, stem from a shared underlying pathophysiology exhibiting common genetic predisposition and risk factors such as high caloric intake, physical inactivity and psychological stress. Larger population-based prospective cohort and longitudinal studies are needed to unravel the association between psoriasis and metabolic co-morbidities.
