Childhood Psoriasis and Arthritis Risk
A recent study published in the journal of Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation found that children with psoriasis are at greater risk of developing juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) if they have elevated body mass index (BMI) or nail psoriasis.
These factors may serve as important clinical indicators for early screening and intervention in at-risk pediatric patients.
Juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) affects around 1–7% of the total juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) population.
One of the main criteria for diagnosing JPsA is the correlation between psoriasis and arthritis.
Early detection of PsA may lead to better results, as PsA is a progressive condition that causes joint deterioration and bone erosion, even in youngsters.
Author's summary: Obesity and nail involvement increase arthritis risk in children with psoriasis.
