Epidemiology of Skin Diseases in Poland: Analysis of Prevalence and Risk Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study
This first overview of skin disease epidemiology in Poland reveals significant variations in prevalence based on demographic and socioeconomic factors. These findings have important public health implications, suggesting the need for: (1) gender-specific dermatological education campaigns, (2) age-targeted skin cancer screening programs for those over 65 years, (3) improved access to dermatological care in rural areas, and (4) educational interventions addressing the observed socioeconomic disparities in disease prevalence and detection.
