Late-onset psoriatic arthritis: data from a nationwide cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A proportion of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have their disease onset after the age of 60 (Late-onset PsA-LoPsA).

Objectives

To examine whether this subgroup exhibits distinct characteristics, disease outcomes, and treatment patterns.

Design

Cross-sectional, observational study.

Methods

Data were collected cross-sectionally from 805 PsA patients in a real-life, multicenter, nationwide study. Among them, we identified 130 patients (16%) with LoPsA (disease onset ⩾60 years). Univariable analyses were conducted to compare the characteristics of LoPsA with the rest of the cohort and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with LoPsA.

Results

After controlling for potential confounders
