Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren hat die Inzidenz altersassoziierter Hauterkrankungen, insbesondere entzündlicher Dermatosen, Autoimmunerkrankungen, Tumoren und paraneoplastischer Syndrome progredient zugenommen. Diese bedeutende Entwicklung liegt in einer erhöhten Früh- und lebenslangen UV-Exposition sowie im demographischen Alterungsprozess begründet. Um den demographischen Wandel zukünftig als Chance zu erleben, sind ein besseres Verständnis der Pathomechanismen dieser speziellen Erkrankungen sowie eine frühzeitige Diagnose und Therapie essenziell. Darüber hinaus muss die breite Öffentlichkeit für diesen Themenkomplex sensibilisiert und der Patient individuell aufgeklärt werden. Diese Strategie beinhaltet frühzeitige, prophylaktische Maßnahmen und eine konsequente Überwachung von Hochrisikogruppen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die erwähnte Beziehung zwischen Hautalterung und der Epidemiologie assoziierter Erkrankungen unter Berücksichtigung der Risikofaktoren im Detail dargestellt.

Abstract

The incidence of skin diseases more common in older patients, e.g. inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, benign and malignant tumors and paraneoplastic syndromes, is increasing worldwide rapidly mainly due to early or lifelong UV-overexposure and to an aging population. In order to transform this demographic change into a chance a better understanding of the pathomechanisms of these diseases, an early diagnosis and therapy are essential steps. In addition, a joint effort to raise public awareness, patient education, preventive measures and consistent monitoring of high-risk groups is of great importance. In this article, the relationship between aging and associated skin diseases will be presented with a particular focus on the epidemiology and risk factors.
