Key Points

Psoriasis is associated with obesity, a relationship that is likely mediated by underlying systemic inflammation present in both disorders.

The most effective therapies for psoriasis in obese patients are those with weight-based dosing regimens as well as PUVA. Infliximab is the simplest and most cost-effective biologic to use since its efficacy at a uniform dose is consistent across multiple BMIs.

In obese patients, it is critical to avoid therapies with adverse effects that can exacerbate metabolic disease, including methotrexate, cyclosporine, and acitretin.
