To the Editor: Psoriasis is often associated with comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the prevalence of abovementioned diseases in Chinese patients with plaque psoriasis is still unknown. Recently, biologics such as tumor necrosis alpha inhibitors, interleukin-17A inhibitors have been successfully used in the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

Study on the relationship between the comorbidities associated with metabolism and plaque psoriasis and the effects of biologics are necessary.
