Abstract

Background and aims: The possible association between psoriatic/psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and bone loss has been observed; however, studies have yielded inconclusive results. This meta-analysis aimed to assess whether there is an increase in the risk of osteoporosis, osteopenia and fractures in patients with psoriasis/PsA, compared with healthy individuals. Methods: PubMed and Scopus were systematically searched from their inception to September 2020 to identify relevant studies. Relative risk, hazard ratio or odds ratio (OR), with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated and pooled using a random-effects model. Results: A total of 12 different studies, with a total of 199 389 296 participants, were included. Overall, no significant relationship was observed between psoriasis/PsA and the risk of osteoporosis (psoriasis: OR = 1.28, 95%CI = 0.86-1.90; PsA: OR = 1.32, 95%CI = 0.79-2.19) and osteopenia (psoriasis: OR = 1.50, 95%CI = 0.75-3.02; PsA: OR = 1.61, 95%CI = 0.67-3.85). However, in the subgroup analysis, psoriasis was significantly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis in men (OR = 1.27, 95%CI = 1.02-1.59) and studies with cohort design (OR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.003-1.09). Psoriasis was also related to the risk of osteopenia in studies on a combination of both genders (OR = 2.86, 95%CI = 2.70-3.02). The pooled analysis demonstrated a significantly higher risk of fractures among patients with psoriasis (OR = 1.29, 95%CI = 1.02-1.63) and PsA (OR = 2.88, 95%CI = 1.51-5.48), compared with participants without psoriasis/PsA. Conclusions: Patients with psoriasis/PsA have an increased risk of fractures. There is little evidence supporting the relation of psoriasis to osteoporosis/osteopenia. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd
