Frequency of Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis in the Elderly: Cross-Sectional Findings from the German AugUR Study
This study indicates a lower than previously reported lifetime prevalence of AD (3.4% vs. 8-10%) and a higher one regarding psoriasis (5.3% vs. 2-4%) in highly aged individuals. More epidemiological research in elderly populations using validated physician diagnoses is desirable.
