Lifestyle interventions in dermatology

Abstract

Chronic inflammatory skin disorders such as hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriasis are associated with cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle medicine is a vast and evolving domain that can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Lifestyle interventions such as exercise, sleep, stress management, nutrition, and mind-body approaches benefit several skin disorders. This review addresses lifestyle interventions that can influence the general health and outcome of patients’ skin disorders.
