This scoping review found a high prevalence of skin conditions among older people living at home, but available evidence on burden and effective care strategies is limited.

This study found that older males and those with previous skin cancer or a history of outdoor work had an increased risk of skin cancer or its precursors.

This study found that nearly 80% of Finnish adults aged 70 to 93 had at least one skin disease requiring treatment, with men more affected than women.

This study found that in older adults, skin cancer was more prevalent among males and those with a history of skin cancer or outdoor work.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

This study from ISTAP emphasizes the importance of preventing skin tears, particularly in vulnerable populations like older adults and neonates, and recommends strategies such as using silicone-based adhesives, emollient therapy, and maintaining a safe environment to reduce the risk of these injuries.

Older adults may experience painful finger pitting due to nerve changes in aging skin, and treatments can help reduce symptoms.

This review discusses common skin disorders in older women and their treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that elderly men with baldness and comorbid conditions experienced persistent scalp erosions following topical treatment with imiquimod or diclofenac, suggesting alternative therapies should be considered for this group.

This study found that fibroblasts from mature skin showed significantly reduced mechanical force production compared to young skin fibroblasts, suggesting age-related changes in cellular mechanical properties.

Older adults often have skin problems due to aging, and treating these conditions requires attention to both physical and mental health.

This review discusses the role of signaling networks in sebaceous gland development and disorders, highlighting recent insights from mouse models and cell line studies, but reports no new experimental results.

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.

Older people often have untreated genital skin diseases due to embarrassment and lack of medical attention, which can lead to discomfort and even cancer risk.

This study concluded that hair-derived stem cells from older donors may offer a promising alternative for autologous corneal endothelial replacement, potentially benefitting patients of various age groups.

This study found that reconstructed human epidermis from infant skin is more susceptible to UV damage than that from older children, with notable changes in skin cell characteristics during the early years of life.

This study found that MED1 deficiency in keratinocytes accelerates skin wound healing in young mice but delays healing in older mice, suggesting differential roles in epidermal regeneration with age.

The researchers reported that using a skin-responsive FUE device in nonscalp hair transplantation significantly reduced graft transection rates compared to older methods, improving patient satisfaction and surgeon willingness.

This study demonstrated that carboxytherapy significantly increased epidermal and dermal thickness, improved collagen and elastin organization, and enhanced expression of TGF-β1 and VEGF in older skin.

This study found that expression of GDNF and GFR α-1 proteins in human skin decreases with age, particularly in the epidermis, suggesting that their signaling pathways may be altered as people grow older.

This study found that hypothyroidism is more prevalent in older Indian females, with common symptoms including weight gain, weakness, and hair loss often associated with other conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

This review discusses the incidence, prevalence, and risk factors for epidermal cancer and premalignant epidermal neoplasia, and it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found no significant association between the degree of male-pattern baldness and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in healthy middle-aged and older men.

This article discusses the use of tissue expansion combined with older surgical techniques to repair large scalp defects and reports no new clinical results.

This case study highlights that RDEB-mitis can be misdiagnosed in older adults, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis as it does not require immunosuppressive treatment.

This study found that dermatological adverse events from interferon-alpha/ribavirin treatment for chronic hepatitis C are associated with factors like older age, pre-existing skin conditions, cirrhosis, and the use of pegylated interferon formulations.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

Scalp-to-scalp skin grafts quickly heal and hide well under regrown hair, making them good for repairing large scalp defects.

This study developed a new quantitative method to measure skin cell turnover in just 4 days, showing it can effectively differentiate skincare product performance and revealing that turnover slows with age but responds more to treatments as people get older.

PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
