This article presents the findings of a population-based case-control study on risk factors for lichen planus (LP) in women. The study found that certain conditions such as hepatitis C, oral candidiasis, periodontitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and vitiligo increased the odds of LP, while autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Graves' disease decreased the odds. Cardiometabolic and psychiatric conditions were associated with reduced odds of LP. The study emphasized the importance of considering the temporal order of diagnoses when examining comorbidities and called for further research on the pathogenetic process of LP and its associated conditions. The study did not find any significant association between LP and urbanicity level or socioeconomic status. [Extracted from the article]
