Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, immune-mediated disease affecting 1-3% of the population worldwide. This work seeks to draw a profile of patients with psoriasis, analyzing socioeconomic, anthropometric, and clinical aspects. For this, medical records from 81 individuals who received medical care in a university hospital in 2014 were consulted. It was observed that the patients were mostly dark-skinned black adult men, with a low education level and a low income, who were sedentary, former smokers, obese, with an increase in waist circumference, and who did not consume alcohol. Psoriasis vulgaris predominated, beginning mainly on the scalp, hands, and feet. In addition, many presented some type of associated comorbidity and had relatives with psoriasis.
银屑病是一种慢性、炎症性、免疫介导的疾病，影响着全球1%至3%的人口。这项研究旨在描绘银屑病患者的概况，分析社会经济、人体测量和临床方面的情况。为此，查阅了2014年在一家大学医院接受治疗的81名患者的病历。观察发现，这些患者大多是肤色较深的成年黑人男性，教育水平低，收入低，久坐不动，曾吸烟，肥胖，腰围增加，且不饮酒。寻常型银屑病最为常见，主要始于头皮、手部和足部。此外，许多患者还伴有某种合并症，且有亲属患银屑病。
