Analysis of Clinical and Genetic Factors of Obesity and Psoriasis Concomitance—The Influence of Body Mass Composition, Prevalence of Mood Disorders, Environmental Factors and <i>FTO</i> Gene Polymorphisms (rs9939609, rs1558902)

This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the problem of overweight and obesity among psoriatic patients by investigating the influence of body mass composition, anhedonia and depression, environmental factors and <i>FTO</i> gene polymorphisms. Methods: The study enrolled 30 overweight...

description This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the problem of overweight and obesity among psoriatic patients by investigating the influence of body mass composition, anhedonia and depression, environmental factors and <i>FTO</i> gene polymorphisms. Methods: The study enrolled 30 overweight or obese adult patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and 30 overweight or obese volunteers (northern Poland region, Caucasian population). Mood disorders, body mass composition by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and <i>FTO</i> gene polymorphisms (rs9939609, rs1558902) by tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) were assessed. Results: Results revealed significantly higher visceral adipose tissue levels in psoriatic patients (5.23 ± 2.29 [L] vs. 3.41 ± 1.86 [L]), <i>p</i> = 0.001), especially among men, along with elevated rates of moderate and severe depression (26.67% vs. 6.67% and 13.33% vs. 3.33%, <i>p</i> = 0.048 respectively). Additionally, <i>FTO</i> gene polymorphisms correlated with waist–hip ratio differences in both groups. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of evaluating body composition beyond body mass index, recognizing its influence on psoriasis and associated conditions like depression. The <i>FTO</i> gene may serve as a potential genetic link between psoriasis and obesity, warranting further research for validation. Adiposity emerges as a key and modifiable risk factor, underscoring the clinical implications of body composition complexities in psoriasis management.
