Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is linked to fissured tongue (FT) in the Han population of southwestern China, with a significant association found (p < 0.001), while geographic tongue (GT) showed no strong connection (p = 0.760).
- Patients with FT tend to be older and have more severe psoriasis, worsening quality of life compared to those without FT.
- Limitations of the study include potential skewing in the prevalence of GT due to its variable nature, and the influence of biologic treatments that may affect the GT/FT ratios among participants.
