Association between sun-protective behaviours and psoriasis in US adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009–2014: a cross-sectional study
Moderate sun-protective behaviours among US adults were found to be negatively associated with psoriasis. However, among non-Hispanic white individuals and former/current smokers, frequent sun protection was positively associated with psoriasis. Future studies with rigorous study design could further explore and validate the potential reasons for these associations to better inform evidence-based behavioural recommendations that protect human health.
