【 摘 要 】

Background

Psoriasis is associated with an atherogenic lipid profile but longitudinal changes in lipids around disease onset are unknown. The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of psoriasis onset on serum lipid profiles.

Methods

We compared changes in lipid profiles in a population based incident cohort of 689 patients with psoriasis and 717 non-psoriasis subjects. All lipid measures performed 5 years before and after psoriasis incidence/index date were abstracted. Random-effects models adjusting for age, sex and calendar year were used to examine trends in lipid profiles.

Results

There were significant declines in total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels during the 5 years before and after psoriasis incidence/index date in both the psoriasis and the non-psoriasis cohorts, with a greater decrease noted in the TC levels (p=0.022) and LDL (p=0.054) in the non-psoriasis cohort. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels increased significantly both before and after psoriasis incidence date in the psoriasis cohort. Triglyceride (TG) levels were significantly higher (p<0.001), and HDL levels significantly lower (p=0.013) in patients with psoriasis compared to non-psoriasis subjects. There were no differences in prescriptions for lipid lowering drugs between the two cohorts.

Conclusions

Patients with psoriasis had a significant decrease in TC and LDL levels during the 5 years before psoriasis incidence. Higher mean TG and lower mean HDL levels were noted in the 5 years before psoriasis incidence. These changes are unlikely to be caused by lipid lowering treatment alone and require further exploration.
