Observational analytical descriptive study. Patients with Psoriasis diagnoses who attended the dermatology office were selected, PASI, ATP-III, Framingham and GLOBORISK were applied. 55 patients, 55% men and 45% women, there was statistical correlation between older age groups and PASI index (p = 0.023). The main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were smoking, sedentary lifestyle and obesity, statistical correlation was found for sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.047). The main non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were Hypertension and Diabetes showing both statistical significance (p = 0.004), (p = 0.0001). The ATP-III criteria showed statistical significance for Hypertension, glycemia, total cholesterol and low HDL (p = 0.003, p = 0.008, p = 0.027, p = 0.017). The frequency of metabolic syndrome represented 47.27% of the sample. The most affected gender was male (61.54%). Statistical correlation was found in the older age groups for the presence of Metabolic Syndrome (p = 0.0001). The group with the highest frequency of metabolic syndrome was the one with 6 to 10 years of the disease (p = 0.001). When applying the Framingham and GLOBORISK scores, there were higher scores in the patients as PASI was increased. There is a higher frequency of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Psoriasis, so it is recommended to establish measures aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in these patients.esMedicineHumanitiesGynecologyarticle
