summary

A child in the community has just been diagnosed with psoriasis, which shocked our neighbors. In the past, they thought that only adults would get sick, but they did not expect that they would become victims at a young age. Let's see if the etiology of psoriasis is related to age.

Is psoriasis related to age

First of all, the survey shows that the incidence rate of psoriasis is relatively high, and it can happen at any age. But there is no clear data showing that psoriasis is closely related to age. There are 70 years old people suffering from psoriasis for the first time, and it is also reported that newborns just a few days after birth suffer from this disease. In children with psoriasis, girls are more than boys. Infection is the most common inducing factor, most of which are upper respiratory tract infections such as cold and tonsillitis. Skin lesions are often in the form of drops, with rapid development and acute onset, also known as rash psoriasis, which is easy to find family history.

Second: psoriasis in childhood and before the age of 19 accounted for the majority of women, but after the onset of more men, with an average age of 8 years for men and 4 years for women. The age of onset is mostly 0-9 years for males and 15-9 years for females. In the past ten years, the incidence rate has increased and ahead of schedule. It is generally believed to be related to industrial pollution and working environment. Male is more than female, north is more than south, urban is more than rural. It is related to many factors, such as personal constitution, living environment, genetic genes and so on.

Finally: the onset age of psoriasis presents the characteristics of bimodal curve, a large peak in adolescence, and a small part of the peak in menopause. A cross-sectional study on the treatment of patients with psoriasis shows that patients before 0 years old generally have obvious family history, skin involvement is serious and extensive, and they are more likely to be affected by mental and psychological factors Nail involvement is more common, and the onset is sudden, easy to relapse, and the late onset after 0 years old is relatively mild, often with obvious inducing factors.
