🧬 Psoriatic March – The Link from Skin to Systemic Disease

Think of it as the “Domino effect” in psoriasis leading to metabolic and cardiovascular issues 👇

🔹 Stepwise Pathophysiology:

🩹 1️⃣ Skin inflammation:
Chronic psoriasis → ↑ TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17, IL-23 → systemic spillover

💢 2️⃣ Endothelial dysfunction:
Cytokines damage vessels → ↓ nitric oxide → vascular inflammation

🍔 3️⃣ Insulin resistance & metabolic syndrome:
Inflammatory cytokines disrupt insulin signaling → obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes

🫀 4️⃣ Atherosclerosis:
Persistent inflammation + metabolic changes → plaque formation

❤️ 5️⃣ Cardiovascular disease:
↑ Risk of MI, stroke, premature mortality

🩺 Clinical Relevance:
•Psoriasis is not just a skin disease — it’s a systemic inflammatory disorder.
•Early aggressive treatment of inflammation (esp. with biologics) may halt the psoriatic march.
•Regular screening for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia is key.

🛑 The new WHO global ***co trends report highlights progress – and persistent challenges – across the WHO European Region and beyond.

Currently, there are 173 million to***co users in the Region, and millions more remain exposed to the harms of second-hand smoke. Without decisive action, our Region will continue to lead the world in to***co use by 2030 burdened by deadly noncommunicable diseases ( ) such as and diseases.

Europe is off-track to meet the target of a 30% reduction by 2025, achieving only a projected 19%.

But change is possible!

According to the report, eleven countries of our Region have already met or are on track to reach the SDG target, and eight more are very close.

High to***co taxes, well-enforced smoke-free laws, comprehensive advertising bans and accessible cessation services are quick wins that can deliver measurable results within a single political cycle.

The message is clear: strong policies save lives. Weak policies cost them.

🚭 Women in Europe use ***co more than anywhere else!

A new WHO report shows that the WHO European Region has the highest to***co use prevalence among women worldwide.

📊 Key findings:

🔴In 2000, 22.3% of women in Europe used to***co.
🔴In 2024, 17.4% still do — over 62 million women.
🔴By 2030, the to***co use rates will likely remain above 16%, far higher than in any other region.

Globally, women are quitting to***co faster than men. But in Europe, progress is too slow.

This means higher risks of , disease and premature death from noncommunicable diseases ( ) for millions of women across Europe.

Better policies such as WHO-recommended quick buys can change this!
