Early onset (<40 years age) psoriasis is comorbid with greater psychopathology than late onset psoriasis: A study of 137 patients

Abstract

Early onset ( < 0.05) increased the odds or probability of having early versus late onset psoriasis. Psoriasis with onset prior to age 40 is comorbid with greater difficulties with assertion and expression of anger, a personality trait that may adversely affect the patient's capacity to cope with stress.
