我們已經知道乾癬與心血管疾病和新陳代謝疾病有關,這一篇研究是針對1685個乾癬病患的研究組病患、和5055個無乾癬的對照組病患,兩組來比較29種疾病的風險。結果乾癬那組在以下疾病有較高風險:

  1. 充血性心臟衰竭(congested heart failure)。[odds ratio (OR) 1·63]
  2. 缺血性心臟病(ischaemic heart disease) (OR 1·51)
  3. 腎臟衰竭(renal failure) (OR 1·45)
  4. 無併發症的糖尿病(uncomplicated diabetes) (OR 1·37)
  5. 肝臟疾病(liver diseases) (OR 1·34),
  6. B型肝炎或C型肝炎(hepatitis B or C) (OR 1·34),
  7. 合併併發症的糖尿病(complicated diabetes) (OR 1·32),
  8. 血脂過高(hyperlipidaemia) (OR 1·28),
  9. 高血壓(hypertension) (OR 1·24)
  10. 胃潰瘍(peptic ulcer) (OR 1·22)

但是如果病患只有輕微的乾癬,那麼只在以下疾病較沒乾癬的病患有較高風險:

  1. 無併發症的糖尿病(uncomplicated diabetes) (OR 1·55)
  2. 氣喘(asthma) (OR 1·30)
  3. 肝臟疾病(liver diseases) (OR 1·30)
  4. 胃潰瘍(peptic ulcer) (OR 1·26)
