CEC is inversely associated with disease activity in PSA patients, reinforcing the role of disease activity as a key factor in the development of accelerated atherosclerosis in these patients.Key Points• Cholesterol efflux capacity is linked to cardiovascular events in the general population.• In patients with psoriatic arthritis, cholesterol efflux capacity is inversely associated with disease activity (beta coefficient - 0.75[95% CI - 1.39-- 0.11] %, p = 0.023).• This finding reinforces the role of disease activity as a key factor in increasing cardiovascular risk in psoriatic arthritis patients.
