Nutritional interventions in treatment of psoriasis and metabolic syndrome

Psoriasis is a common chronic dermatosis associated with metabolic syndrome and its components. Metabolic syndrome contributes to severe psoriasis. Obesity is a multifactorial disease and its development is influenced by genetic factors. Carriers of the FTO gene risk allele are associated with more severe psoriasis, higher risk of obesity, psoriatic arthritis and metabolic disorders. Nutritional intervention plays an important role in psoriasis and co-morbid metabolic syndrome management. The article reviews current data regarding dietary habits of psoriasis patients, impact of weight reduction and dietary supplements administration on psoriasis.
