Abstract: Background: Asthma (AS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prevalent chronic airway disorders with shared inflammatory pathways. Considering the systemic inflammatory nature of psoriasis, this study utilized the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to investigate its potential association with COPD and AS. Methods: Data from the 2023 NHIS were analyzed, with participants selected based on specific inclusion criteria. A baseline table was constructed, and multivariate logistic regression models, along with risk stratification analysis, were employed to examine the correlations between psoriasis and COPD and AS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to assess the predictive value for both conditions. Results: A total of 27,106 participants were included in the study. Significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics of psoriasis, age, race, region, gender, education, marital status, employment, income, smoking habits, health status, mental health, disability, heart attack history, BMI, prediabetes, cancer, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis, coronary heart disease, stroke, health insurance, anxiety, and depression (P
