BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a common chronic @entity272 . There is overwhelming evidence on the higher risk of @entity65 in @entity1 with @entity1569 as a result of @entity407 , which is more common in these @entity1 . OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to elucidate the association between the cardiovascular risk factors and @entity1569 . METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 55 @entity1 with @entity1569 and 55 matched (sex and age) controls were entered the study at the Department of Dermatology between March 2011 and March 2013. Blood samples were obtained following 14 hours fasting status and serum levels of @entity412 , @entity165 , high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein were determined using standard laboratory methods, and other variables such as sex, age, smoking, @entity285 consumption, and the type of disease were recorded. RESULTS: Our findings showed that levels of @entity412 , low-density lipoprotein, and smoking were significantly higher in psoriatic @entity1 when compared with controls, whereas the level of high-density lipoprotein and @entity165 was not significantly different between two groups. Body mass index of psoriatic @entity1 was not significantly higher than controls. @entity1 with @entity1569 also had an increased prevalence of @entity101 . CONCLUSION: Our findings further verify @entity14822 in psoriatic @entity1 . Psoriasis is associated with higher rate of @entity101 , which may be resulted in increasing the risk of @entity65 in these patients. Thus, serum lipid profile and blood pressure in all @entity1 with @entity1569 , regardless of disease severity, deserve consideration to be checked.
