Abstract
BACKGROUND: Psoriatic disease (PsD) is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases. The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score is a new metric for assessing cardiovascular health (CVH), where a higher score indicates better CVH. However, the longitudinal association between LE8 score and the risk of PsD remains uncertain. The main aim of the present study was to explore the association between LE8 scores and the risk of PsD.</p>
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between LE8 score, genetic susceptibility, and the risk of PsD within a cohort design.</p>
METHODS: This cohort study included 261,642 participants from the UK Biobank without PsD at baseline. LE8 comprises eight indicators: diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to examine the association between the participants' LE8 scores, PsD genetic risk, and the risk of PsD. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidential intervals (CIs) were calculated.</p>
RESULTS: During an average follow-up of 12.32 years, 1,501 participants developed PsD. Compared to participants with low LE8 scores, the HRs (95% CIs) of developing PsD for those with moderate and high LE8 scores were 0.51 (0.43, 0.59) and 0.34 (0.27, 0.42) after adjustments, respectively. Dose-response analysis revealed a linear negative association between continuous LE8 score and the risk of developing PsD (P < 0.001), with no evidence of non-linear association detected. The genetic susceptibility to PsD did not modify this association (P for interaction = 0.63). Subgroup analyses revealed that women demonstrated a more pronounced beneficial association between LE8 scores and PsD risk (P for interaction = 0.02).</p>
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that a higher LE8 score, regardless of genetic risk, was associated with a lower risk of PsD, particularly among women. Consequently, maintaining a high CVH status is recommended to prevent PsD and assess associated risks.</p>
