Thus, it is important to study in detail the problems of the aged, so that proper dermatological care can be provided to them. This will alter the prevalence and pattern of skin diseases encountered in general dermatology practice. Consequently, the dermatological demands of the aged will grow. With the increasing average lifespan, the percentage of geriatric patients is bound to rise. This phenomenon, called population aging, is a dynamic demographic trend seen all over the world. A growth in the elderly population has been noted due to a substantial reduction in mortality owing to economic well-being, better health-care systems and advancements in the field of Medicine. 'Senior citizen' or 'elderly' is a person who is of age 60 years or above as defined by the 'National Policy on Older Persons' adopted by the Government of India in January 1999. Thus, it is important to study the problems of the aged individuals, so proper dermatological care can be provided to them. With increasing average lifespan, dermatological demands of the aged are growing. Dermatosis in the elderly has atypical presentations due to an interplay of physiological and pathological factors. Conclusion: The most common physiologic finding among the elderly was wrinkles while the most common dermatosis were infections. Generalized pruritus, neoplasia, and pigmentary disorders were significantly more common in urban residents, whereas infections were significantly higher in rural residents. Metabolic dermatosis was significantly higher in diabetics. Wrinkling, neoplasia, and nail changes were significantly higher in males. Fungal infections were seen in 24.1% and leprosy in 6.8% of patients. Among pathological conditions, infections were the most common group (51.3%). The most common physiological change was wrinkling (92.3%). The most common systemic ailment was diabetes mellitus (18.2%). The mean age was 65.92 years, with maximum belonging to the 60-69 years' age group (73%) and a male preponderance (1.97:1). Results: A total of 440 patients were enrolled. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study based in a tertiary care teaching hospital, which included patients aged 60 years and above, presenting to the outpatient department of dermatology. Objectives: This study has been performed with the objectives of studying the spectrum of skin diseases in the elderly and study associations of these with various demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and residence with clinical diagnosis. Despite this, there is a lack of statistical data about dermatosis in the elderly. Agarwalīackground: The increasing average lifespan has led to an increase in an elderly patient encountered in day-to-day practice. Give creators a StatTrak Prototype Version with green LED lights instead of orange.Byline: Mriganka. This is the same design as a map coin but then with the name of the case written on it. Give creators a 0.0000000000 or a super low float StatTrak version unless the creator mentions he would like it in a different float value. If I were to think of ways to distribute this it would be: Fun thing is, when I was spitting through the items_game text file the actual prototype/selfmade rarity is already defined in terms of colour so it seems like a rather simple thing to do. I 100% agree with you Endrit, I wish we would get a prototype version of our skin that, obviously, is not marketable, tradeable so we can show our achievements in-game.
