This is a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the impact of a structured non pharmacological intervention consisting in intensive weight reduction (qualitative and quantitative changes in diet associated with physical exercise) compared to an intervention based on a simple informative counseling about the utility of weight loss for clinical control of psoriatic disease.
