↵* PsA cases were classified into two groups by the cutoff of scores at 57, picked to include those with the top third of the scores into one category.
↵† Adjusted for age (continuous variable), body mass index (<18.5, 18.5–24.9, 25–29.9, 30–34.9 or ≥35 kg/m2), alcohol drinking (no, <4.9, 5.0–9.9, 10–14.9, 15–29.9 or ≥30.0 g/day), vigorous physical activity (metabolic equivalent h/week, in quintiles).
PsA, psoriatic arthritis.
