Association of METS-IR index with psoriasis in US adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is linked to insulin resistance (IR). Nevertheless, the applicability of the METS-IR index, a new IR evaluation tool, for evaluating changes in insulin sensitivity in psoriasis populations is currently unknown. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the METS-IR index and psoriasis in a US adult population. This cross-sectional study utilized data from adults aged 20 to 80 years from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2003-2006 and 2009-2014. The associations between the METS-IR index and psoriasis were examined using multivariate logistic regression and smoothed curve fitting. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to verify the stability of the association within the population. This study included 5,966
