To compare the cases with age and sex matched control groups.
To study the association of psoriasis vulgaris with metabolic syndrome.
Case Control study (200 cases and 200 controls).
In our present study Metabolic Syndrome was present in 52(26%) of psoriatic cases in comparison to 20(10%) non psoriatic cases which came out to be statistically significant [Odds ratio (OR) -3.162, Degree of freedom (df) –1, p – value-0.003, ? 2 -8.672].
There is possible association of metabolic syndrome with psoriasis.
