Psoriasis and Crohn's four fold risk

[Caroline]

Very interesting… the risk is fourfold… but how much it anyway, that is not visible, at least I don’t see it in the text.

The relation between active psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis versus a higher risk is also interesting.

Multivariate analysis was appropriate because patients with psoriasis had a higher BMI, tended to be older, consumed more alcohol, and were less physically active than were those without psoriasis. The psoriasis patients were also more likely to be current smokers, users of oral contraceptives, and current users of postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Happily above doesn’t fit at all with me….
