Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a condition where our body's immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells, often appearing alongside psoriasis. Beyond skin symptoms, it can impact our joints, internal organs, and even our eyes. It's worth noting that its signs can resemble other conditions, so pinpointing a diagnosis can be a bit of a puzzle.

Learn about a major international study led by Oxford University and University College Dublin that tracks nearly 3,000 patients to understand who might develop Psoriatic Arthritis (PSA). This cutting-edge research is part of the HIPPOCRATES project, which aims to predict and prevent arthritis through early detection and lifestyle interventions like exercise and stress management.
Over the next three years, researchers will gather data from over 25,000 psoriasis patients across 12 European countries, using innovative methods such as online questionnaires and home-based blood tests. The goal? To change how we approach arthritis prevention, improve quality of life, and make life with psoriasis more manageable.
