225 Inflammatory dietary pattern and incident psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and atopic dermatitis in women: A cohort study

Introduction: As diet modulates inflammation and may impact inflammatory skin disease, our objectives were to assess the relationships between pro-inflammatory dietary patterns and incident psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods and Results: We conducted cohort studies among women in the Nurses ’ Health Study II. The empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) score was calculated at baseline and every four years; incident psoriasis, PsA, and AD were assessed by validated self-report.
