这项研究的目的是确定台湾牛皮癣的患病率，治疗方式和合并症。在2000年至2006年期间，随访了来自国家健康保险数据库中的1,000,000个人的全国代表人群。他们的索赔数据用于流行病学研究。男性的平均牛皮癣一年患病率分别为0.23％，女性的平均患病率分别为0.16％。 30岁及以上的男性患者在70岁及以上的患者中达到高峰，无论性别如何。总体而言，有98.4％的患者接受了局部皮质类固醇治疗，而13.1％的患者使用了中草药，而13.6％的患者接受了全身治疗。牛皮癣患者的糖尿病，高脂血症和高血压的合并症较高。总之，与高加索人相比，台湾人的牛皮癣的患病率高于女性，而70岁以上患者的患病率显着增加。
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, treatment modalities and comorbidity of psoriasis in Taiwan. A nationally representative cohort of 1,000,000 individuals from the National Health Insurance database was followed up for the years 2000 to 2006. Their claims data was used for an epidemiological study. The mean one-year prevalence of psoriasis was 0.23% for men and 0.16% for women, respectively. The prevalence of psoriasis increased more rapidly in male patients aged 30 years and over and reached its peak in patients aged 70 years and over, regardless of sex. Overall, 98.4% of patients received treatment with topical corticosteroids, while 13.1% used Chinese herbal medicines and 13.6% received systemic treatment. Patients with psoriasis had a higher comorbidity of diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and hypertension. In conclusion, in contrast to Caucasians, the prevalence of psoriasis in Taiwanese people is higher in men than in women and the prevalence increases significantly in patients over 70 years of age.
