  • Robert Norman

摘要

As “baby-boomers” now enter senior citizenship and the aging get aging, an increased emphasis in geriatric medicine is inevitable. Those 65 years and aging are increasing in numerical strength, and therefore, along with the common problems prevalent in an aging population, will also have new dermatological problems related to wear and tear, the effects of sun exposure, as well as pharmacologically induced problems arising from treating other conditions. Consequently, dermatologists will see more aging patients presenting with age-related dermatological conditions.
