Researchers have identified a link between visceral fat, which accumulates around the abdominal organs, and an increased risk of psoriasis. In contrast to generalized obesity, where excess weight is distributed throughout the body, visceral fat may play a more significant role in the development of psoriasis. This association was observed after controlling for other factors that can contribute to the risk of developing psoriasis.
The study's findings highlight the importance of considering the distribution of body fat when assessing the relationship between obesity and skin disease. While generalized obesity is certainly a risk factor for many health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the specific impact of visceral fat on psoriasis risk warrants further investigation. Future studies should aim to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which visceral fat contributes to the development of psoriasis.
