Eight-year change in carotid intima-media thickness and associated risk factors in adults with and without psoriasis - the ELSA-Brasil cohort study

The longitudinal association between psoriasis and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has not yet been established. This study aimed do compare CIMT and its change (∆CIMT) after an 8-year follow-up according to psoriasis diagnosis and the association with risk factors in the ELSA-Brasil study. Da...

description The longitudinal association between psoriasis and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has not yet been established. This study aimed do compare CIMT and its change (∆CIMT) after an 8-year follow-up according to psoriasis diagnosis and the association with risk factors in the ELSA-Brasil study. Data from 7564 participants were analyzed (median age of 50.0 [44.0-57.0] years, 56.9% women). CIMT was assessed by ultrasound and ∆CIMT was calculated by subtracting baseline values from follow-up values. Psoriasis participants were identified by self-reported medical diagnosis (n=143) and compared with matched participants without disease (n=572) and with the entire sample without psoriasis (n=7421). Baseline CIMT explained the 8-year CIMT increase only in 36.9% among psoriasis participants and in ∼43.0% in participants without disease. CIMT was associated with age (β=0.002, P=0.002) and hypertension (β=0.029, P=0.034) in psoriasis participants. Among participants without psoriasis, CIMT was associated with age, male sex, low educational attainment, past smoking, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (P<0.05). There was an inverse association of CIMT with private health insurance (β=-0.004, P=0.042) and White ethnicity (β=-0.006, P=0.004) in the entire sample without psoriasis but not in matched participants. Psoriasis participants showed an inverse association between ∆CIMT and diabetes (β=-0.214, P=0.011), while the entire sample without psoriasis showed an inverse association between ∆CIMT and age (β=-0.005, P<0.001), past smoking (β=-0.048, P=0.009), and hypertension (β=-0.048, P=0.009). In conclusion, psoriasis was not associated with CIMT after an 8-year follow-up. The inverse association of ∆CIMT with diabetes in psoriasis participants needs further clarification.
