Patients with arthritis, especially arthritis, presented a higher risk. Patients with depression and anxiety due to psoriasis or psoriasis in their bads also had a higher incidence of badual dysfunction.

Patients with psoriasis also had a risk of developing erectile dysfunction from 37% to 4 times higher.
