A Retrospective Review of Chronic Non-Communicable Dermatoses Among Older Adults at a Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Southwestern Nigeria.

Introduction: Aging is a ubiquitous human trait that predisposes older persons to chronic diseases. Compared with systemic non-communicable diseases, a significant gap exists in literature on the burden of non-communicable dermatoses (NCDs) amongst older adults particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to document the epidemiology and clinical pattern of non-communicable skin diseases among older adults at a tertiary healthcare facility in Southwestern Nigeria.

Psychodermatological Disorders in Patients With Primary Psychiatric Conditions: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Psychodermatological disorders (PDs) and their associations with mental health problems are one of the most frequent research themes in dermatology outpatient settings. Surprisingly, very few studies have been conducted to evaluate PDs among patients with primary psychiatric conditions. As such, the relationship between preexisting psychiatric conditions and comorbid PDs is underrepresented in the literature.

Androgenetic alopecia: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic syndrome, and component traits among Nigerian adults.

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) has been linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Works on AGA, cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and MetS are rare among Nigerians.

Aim: This study set out to determine the relationship among CVRFs, MetS, and AGA.

Napkin Dermatitis: Skin Hydration Levels and Skin Care Practices amongst Children at Urban Comprehensive Health Centre, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
