Central obesity in psoriatic arthritis: associations with disease activity, function, and quality of life in a real-world cohort

These findings highlight the clinical importance of routinely measuring waist circumference in PsA management and suggest that targeted interventions addressing visceral adiposity could enhance both inflammatory and quality-of-life outcomes.
