Psoriasis

Psoriasis: By the numbers

By the numbers: Approximately 7.4 million adults in the United States have psoriasis. Psoriasis occurs in all age groups but the highest proportion of cases is between ages 45 and 65. Approximately 10-20% of people with psoriasis experience joint inflammation that produces symptoms of arthritis (known as psoriatic arthritis). In 2013, the total direct cost of treatment associated with psoriasis in the United States was estimated to be between $51.7 billion and $63.2 billion.
