Primary

MeasureTime frame
Association of viruddha ahara practices in autoimmune disease patients (plaque psoriasis, vitiligo, and rheumatoid arthritis) and healthy controls.Timepoint: 1.5 year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Characterization of viruddha ahara practices in individuals diagnosed with plaque psoriasis, vitiligo, & rheumatoid arthritis, as well as in healthy controls. 2. Assessment of the impact of viruddha ahara on disease severity scales (pasi, vetf, das28) in plaque psoriasis, vitiligo, & rheumatoid arthritis patients. 3. Evaluation of the impact of viruddha ahara on specific biomarkers (age & hscrp) in autoimmune disease patients compared to healthy controls. 4. Investigation of the correlation between viruddha ahara practices & gene expression patterns in autoimmune disease patients. 5. The effects of viruddha ahara on disease severity scales, biomarkers, & gene expressions in individuals with autoimmune diseases (plaque psoriasis, vitiligo, & rheumatoid arthritis).
