Late stage psoriasis does not affect life expectancy per se, but in advanced stages, conditions such as decreased immunity may lead to complications with other diseases that may affect life expectancy.
Psoriasis is an immune inflammatory disease related to genetics and the environment, with common manifestations such as red maculopapular rash and silvery-white scales, which are mainly confined to the epidermal basal layer of the skin, and therefore mostly does not affect life expectancy, but usually causes a decrease in the quality of life and mental health problems.
Meanwhile, psoriasis can further disorganize the body’s immune system, and is prone to complications in the later stages, such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and coronary heart disease, which may affect life expectancy.
It is recommended that early detection and treatment of psoriasis can help to control its development process and can effectively improve the treatment effect and quality of life.
