Cited in Scopus: 28A high prevalence of psoriasis has been reported in Norway, ranging from 4.8% to 11.8% (Bo et al., 2008; Danielsen et al., 2013; Kavli et al., 1985; Parisi et al., 2013). Prevalence estimates depend crucially on the validity of questionnaires (Jagou et al., 2006; Kurd and Gelfand, 2009; Lima et al., 2013; Plunkett et al., 1999; Rea et al., 1976; Wolkenstein et al., 2009). We aimed to validate self-reported psoriasis in a large population-based study in Norway using clinical skin examination performed by dermatologists as the gold standard and also to estimate the validation-based prevalence of psoriasis in a general Norwegian population.
