Hidradenitis suppurativa and metabolic syndrome: a comparative cross‐sectional study of 3207 patients
ConclusionsWe found an association between HS and diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, obesity, hypertension and metabolic syndrome among a large community‐based cohort of patients with HS. Clinicians should take into account that patients with HS may have one or more undiagnosed components of metabolic syndrome despite their young age. Thus, appropriate targeted screening is advised.
