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

As skin ages, it gets thinner, paler, and more wrinkled, and protection and care like sunblock and moisturizers are important.

This study observed that among elderly patients, the most common systemic disease associated with skin conditions was diabetes, while wrinkling and xerosis were prevalent skin changes.

In this study of elderly patients at an Indian medical center, researchers found that xerosis was the most common physiological skin change and pruritus was the most frequent complaint.

In this descriptive study, elderly patients most commonly presented with skin wrinkling, xerosis, and eczematous conditions, highlighting the difficulty in distinguishing normal age-related from pathological skin changes.
