Older adults commonly experience wrinkles, itchy skin, psoriasis, fungal infections, skin growths, grey hair, hair loss, and nail ridging, but no skin cancer was found in this group.

This review discusses Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, highlighting its phenotype, pathogenesis, and its potential insights into natural aging and cardiovascular diseases, but it reports no new research findings.

This study reports that in aged mice, hair follicle dermal stem cells exhibit diminished self-renewal and preferential differentiation into dermal sheath cells, contributing to age-related hair loss.

This article reviews hair loss in elderly women, discussing common forms, diagnostic challenges, and the limited effectiveness of current treatments, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the hyperfunction theory of aging as a key factor in COVID-19 vulnerability, highlighting the potential of anti-aging interventions like rapamycin to reduce this risk.

This review discusses how research on keratin biology has enhanced the understanding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and indicates potential new therapeutic approaches, but it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that as Japanese women age, their hair cuticle becomes more prone to damage, shifting from type L to type E damage patterns, and hair surface properties, including fatty acid content, deteriorate.

This study assessed nutritional status in residents of geriatric homes in Al-Furat Al-Awusat, finding that the majority were overweight and lacked routine vitamin and mineral intake.

This clinical case report describes a 72-year-old man who experienced significant weight loss and frequent loose stools over eight months, presenting with fatigue.

This study found that skin disorders are prevalent among elderly individuals and are often associated with underlying systemic diseases.

This study found that telomere shortening disrupts BMP/pSmad/P63 signaling, leading to skin atrophy via Follistatin up-regulation, and suggests potential therapeutic targets.

This article examines the Ayurvedic perspective on the aging process, detailing how physical, emotional, and metabolic changes occur naturally over time, affecting various body systems, and highlights the role of Vayu dosha during the final stage of life, Vriddhavastha.

This study found that sustained intracellular acidosis in mice was associated with shortened lifespan, early aging signs, and impaired autophagy.

This study characterized hair from a patient with a ribosomopathy and identified distinct differences, including reduced hair thickness and lipid content, compared to family members.

This review discusses the structure, types, and distribution of keratins and their role in tissue fragility disorders, particularly within the oral cavity, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that genomic instability in mouse models impair hair follicle regeneration, suggesting potential parallels in age-related hair loss in humans.

This chapter reviews Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome as a model for studying aging but presents no new findings, covering its genetic basis, clinical features, and existing treatments.

This review discusses the role of intermediate filaments in cell signaling and differentiation, emphasizing their impact on stem cell function, development, and disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses genome maintenance mechanisms critical for preventing age-related diseases by preserving stem and progenitor cell potential, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study observed that, contrary to common belief, aged Balb/C mice showed better wound healing than younger mice despite greater weight loss, possibly due to increased T regulatory cells.

This study observed that pruritus and xerosis were the most common skin complaints among the geriatric population attending a dermatology clinic in Puducherry.

This review discusses the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the ageing process and reports that its significance compared to other factors in mammalian ageing remains uncertain.

This case study describes a 31-year-old man with myotonia and a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and androgenic alopecia, who presented with arm and leg weakness.

This study, conducted among elderly patients in an Indian dermatology department, found that pruritus was the most common complaint, while fungal infections and eczematous disorders were also prevalent; notably, age-related changes like wrinkling and hair graying affected all participants.

This study formulated an herbal shampoo using fermented wheat gluten and traditional herbs, which reportedly promotes hair growth, nourishes, and strengthens hair, reducing hair fall.

This study suggests that age-related changes in skin elasticity reduce its stability against wrinkling, and anti-aging strategies should focus on addressing elastic mismatches between skin layers.

This article discusses nutritional contributions to hair health and highlights the need for identifying risk factors for deficiencies but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that applying a cream with 5% vitamin C reduced dermatoporosis-related purpura, suggesting the condition may be linked to vitamin C deficiency.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.
