Independent predictors of masked hypertension in patients with psoriasis vulgaris (n=110).

Variables	OR	95% CI	p
Male gender	9.00	2.06–39.24	<0.01
Waist circumference (cm)	1.08	1.02–1.15	0.01
BSA (%)	1.35	1.06–1.70	0.01

Dependent variable: Presence of masked hypertension, Nagelkerke R²=0.53. Gender, smoking, BMI, waist circumference, PASI, BSA, and PSI were entered into the logistic regression model. OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; BMI – body mass index; PASI – psoriasis area and severity index; BSA – body surface area.
