abstract = {Psoriasis is a multisystem disease which has been related to vitamin‑D
deficiency through chronic inflammation. This psoriasis‑related inflammatory state and vitamin‑D
deficiency may induce bone mineral density loss. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship
of psoriasis with bone mineral density, by comparing psoriatic patients with healthy controls and patients
with osteopenia/osteoporosis. Psoriatic patients showed worse hip and lumbar spine bone mineral density levels than
healthy controls (P = 0.001) and better levels than osteoporotic patients (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis
demonstrated a negative association of age and a positive association of body mass index in hip bone
mineral density in psoriatic patients. Bone mineral density levels in psoriatic patients are situated halfway between healthy
controls and patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis. In addition, the higher body mass index in patients with
psoriasis appears to confer a protective effect against further development of lower bone mineral density.},
