A linear dose-response relationship was established, showing risk reduction with each 10-point increase in LE8 score.
Nicotine exposure and BMI were identified as significant contributors to the association with psoriasis.
Interpretation:
The findings support the hypothesis that better cardiovascular health, as indicated by higher LE8 scores, is linked to a lower prevalence of psoriasis.
Limitations:
The study is cross-sectional, limiting causal inferences.
Potential residual confounding factors may not have been fully accounted for.
Conclusion:
This study extends previous research by demonstrating a clear association between LE8 scores and psoriasis, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular health in managing this condition.
