This study aimed to investigate psoriasis epidemiological situation by evaluating disease course and severity, management, comorbidities, environmental factors, and knowledge about this disorder among psoriatic patients in Poland. A cross-sectional cohort population-based study enrolled 1080 psoriatic patients and 1200 controls. The mean age of psoriasis onset was 27.6 years; 78.24% had type I psoriasis. Positive family history of psoriasis was reported in 44.81% of patients, whereas itch was reported in vast majority of patients (83.33%). Based on PASI score moderate psoriasis was the most common in studied group (mean 12.63 \u00b1 9.33, range 0\u201367.2). The DLQI score (12.01 \u00b1 7.41, range 0\u201330.0) indicated a very large effect of psoriasis on the quality of life. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity (33.80%), followed by obesity (16.85%) and dyslipidemia (11.85%). Stress was the foremost cause of disease exacerbation (66.20%); however, infections (44.07%) and seasonal changes (45.09%) had also an impact on the course of psoriasis. Psoriatic patients were more often smokers (37.59%) vs. general population (27.50%; p &lt; 0.0001). In conclusion, epidemiological studies help clinicians in better disease and patient understanding, which may translate into better management and patient compliance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11051254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,27]],"date-time":"2022-02-27T20:47:17Z","timestamp":1645994837000},"page":"1254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Chronic
