Dietary habits, nutritional supplement use, and adherence to national dietary guidelines in patients with psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a well-established association with obesity. However, the role of diet remains unclear. This study examined dietary habits in patients with psoriasis and compared adherence to national dietary guidelines with matched healthy controls. We included 466 patients with psoriasis from the BIOSKIN cohort and 1,029 healthy controls from the Copenhagen General Population Study. According to a Food Frequency Questionnaire, 53% of the patients reported a "healthy and varied diet," and 39% "no specific diet". Approximately 10% practiced intermittent fasting, while smaller proportions followed a Mediterranean diet (4%), a ketogenic/low-carb, high-fat diet (3%), or an anti-inflammatory diet (2%). Overall, 90% showed high or intermediate adherence to dieta
