Age‐related variations in clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic foot ulcers
Clinical characteristics of DFUs are profoundly age-dependent: younger patients exhibited poorer glycemic control, neuropathic ulcers, and mechanical injuries, while the older patients developed more vascular complications and neuro-ischemic ulcers. Therefore, different prevention and treatment measures should be taken for DFUs based on their clinical characteristics in different age groups.
