Study Links Belly Fat to Increased Risk of Psoriasis

Scientists have found that having too much fat around your belly might make you more likely to get a skin condition called psoriasis.

They looked at lots of people and saw that those with bigger waists often got psoriasis.

Psoriasis causes red, scaly patches on the skin.

It's like your body's alarm system is always on, causing inflammation.

The study suggests doctors should look at waist size, not just overall weight, to understand a person’s risk.

Eating healthy and staying active are good ways to help.
