[Metabolic syndrome and skin diseases].
Skin symptoms were originally described only in some components of the metabolic syndrome (e.g. in obesity, diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome). In the last years several skin symptoms were described also in the metabolic syndrome. These relations were mostly described between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome, where perhaps common pathogenetic mechanisms are present. Even more important is the fact that physical activity, weight loss and diet treatment can have a common positive effect on both diseases. Also some drugs can influence both diseases together.
