Specific diets with the most patients reporting a favorable skin response for psoriasis patients were Pagano (72.2%), vegan (70%), and Paleolithic (68.9%), according to results of a recent national survey, among the first to report the dietary behaviors of patients with psoriasis. Data provided from this large cohort may benefit patients and clinicians as they discuss the role of diet in managing both psoriasis and associated cardiometabolic comorbidities. Researchers administered a 61-question survey to the National Psoriasis Foundation membership asking psoriasis patients (n=1,206) about dietary habits, modifications, skin responses, and perceptions. They also found:

• Compared to age- and sex-matched controls, psoriasis patients consumed significantly less sugar, whole grain fiber, dairy, and calcium, while consuming more fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
• 86% of respondents reported use of a dietary modification.
• The percentage of patients reporting skin improvement was greatest after reducing alcohol (53.8%), gluten (53.4%), nightshades (52.1%), and after adding fish oil/omega-3 (44.6%), vegetables (42.5%), and oral vitamin D (41%).
• Additionally, 41.8% of psoriasis respondents reported that a motivation for attempting dietary changes was to improve overall health.
