Psoriatic arthritis tends to affect men at a slightly higher rate than women.
Our immune systems play an important role, and both genetic and environmental factors seem to be associated with the development of psoriatic arthritis.
We should know that psoriatic arthritis is related with psoriasis on the skin with approximately 10-30% of people with psoriasis developing psoriatic arthritis. If we neglect the symptoms and psoriatic arthritis remains undiagnosed for long periods of time, particularly in its milder forms, there is a greater possibility that it can be developing at any time. For most people, the condition appears between the ages of 30 and 50.
