Job description
Psoriasis is an immune related skin disorder that affects around 2-3% of the UK population, with adverse psychological, physical, and social consequences. Since common co-morbidities are diet-dependent (CVD, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes), it is important to characterise the diets of those with psoriasis, and to investigate whether there is any relationship with low adherence to healthy dietary patterns. The primary aim of the research is to investigate whether diet quality is associated with psoriasis comorbidities using the UK Biobank, an open access resource for researchers to investigate health-related research questions.
