The aim of this study was to compare aerobic exercise capacity, daily physical activity, pulmonary functions, resting metabolic rate, and body composition parameters in patients with psoriasis and healthy controls. A total of 60 participants (30 [15 men, 15 women] patients with psoriasis, and 30 [15 men, 15 women] healthy controls) ranging in age from 22-57 were included in the study. Maximal aerobic capacity was determined by Astrand exercise protocol. Daily physical activity was measured with an accelerometer. Resting metabolic rate was determined with an indirect calorimeter. Pulmonary function tests were performed with a portable spirometer. Body composition was established with a bioelectric impedance analysis system. Skinfold thicknesses and body circumference measurements were carried out. Short Form 36 quality of life questionnaire was applied to all participants. In both genders, daily physical activity parameters were found to be higher in the psoriasis group compared to the control. Maximal aerobic capacity, resting metabolic rate, pulmonary function tests, body fatness, body fat distributions, and quality of life were not statistically different between patients with psoriasis and controls in males and females. We suggest that patients with psoriasis who do not have psoriatic arthritis or severe psoriasis are well in performing daily physical activities. In addition, we suggest that this lifestyle helped to prevent impairments of body fatness, body fat distributions, resting metabolic rate, pulmonary functions, and quality of life in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.
本研究旨在比较银屑病患者和健康对照者的有氧运动能力、日常体力活动、肺功能、静息代谢率和身体成分参数。共纳入 60 名参与者（22-57 岁，30 名[15 名男性，15 名女性]银屑病患者和 30 名[15 名男性，15 名女性]健康对照者）。最大有氧能力通过 Astrand 运动方案确定。日常体力活动通过加速度计测量。静息代谢率通过间接测热法确定。肺功能测试使用便携式肺活量计进行。身体成分使用生物电阻抗分析系统建立。进行皮褶厚度和体围测量。所有参与者均应用简短形式 36 项健康调查量表。在两性中，银屑病组的日常体力活动参数均高于对照组。男性和女性银屑病患者与对照组之间，最大有氧能力、静息代谢率、肺功能测试、体脂肪量、体脂分布和生活质量无统计学差异。我们认为没有银屑病关节炎或严重银屑病的银屑病患者能够很好地进行日常体力活动。此外，我们认为这种生活方式有助于预防轻度至中度银屑病患者的体脂肪量、体脂分布、静息代谢率、肺功能和生活质量受损。
