| Abstract |
Psoriasis has long been considered a systemic inflammatory disease. Lately, it has been strongly associated with obesity, as well as other components of metabolic syndrome, such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and arterial hypertension. We reviewed the literature of the last decade by using the keywords: psoriasis, metabolic syndrome, and/or obesity in PubMed and Medline. Obesity and psoriasis seem to share similar profiles of systemic inflammation. Serum cytokines such as TNF-α, CRP, IL-6, and IL-12 are elevated in both disorders. The more severely an individual is affected with psoriasis, the more likely it is to be obese. This makes the disease an important health care issue, which requires the cooperation of dermatologists with other medical specialists. This review attempts to summarize the links and risks that associate psoriasis with obesity, and highlight the concerns and queries for both disorders in the future. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 April 2016.
All research outputs
#15,048,620
of 25,584,565 outputs
Outputs from Psoriasis : Targets and Therapy
#48
of 79 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,073
of 295,288 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psoriasis : Targets and Therapy
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,584,565 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 79 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 32.2. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 295,288 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
