Visceral Adiposity in Psoriasis is Associated With Vascular Inflammation by 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Beyond Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors in an Observational Cohort Study

Conclusions
Volume-based CT measurement of VAT may capture metabolic risk associated with VI compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue in PSO. PSO treatment associated with a decrease in VAT as well as decrease in VI suggesting VAT as a relevant biomarker related to VI in PSO.
