AB  - BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have analyzed the influence of psoriasis on the 
      quality of life and psychosocial health of patients. However, few studies have 
      addressed the effect of this disease on individuals living with these patients 
      (cohabitants). OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of psoriasis on the levels of 
      anxiety, depression, and quality of life of the cohabitants of psoriatic 
      patients. METHODS: The study included patients, cohabitants, and controls, a 
      total of 130 participants. Their quality of life was measured with the 
      Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Family Dermatology Life Quality Index 
      (FDLQI), and their psychological state with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression 
      Scale (HADS). Demographic data of participants and clinical characteristics of 
      patients were also gathered. RESULTS: The presence of psoriasis impaired the 
      quality of life of 87.8% of the cohabitants. FDLQI scores of cohabitants were 
      significantly associated with the DLQI scores of the patients (rs = 0.554; P < 
      .001). Anxiety and depression levels did not differ between patients and 
      cohabitants, but were significantly higher than in the controls (P < .001). 
      LIMITATIONS: Additional studies with larger numbers of patients and cohabitants 
      are required to analyze differences between groups according to psoriasis 
      severity. CONCLUSION: Psoriasis markedly worsens the global well-being of 
      patients and their cohabitants, who experienced an impairment of their quality of 
      life and higher levels of anxiety and depression.
