Ucwaningo olubandakanya iziguli ezingu-230 lwathola ukuthi ezingu-36 zine-geriatric buttock dermatosis. Lezi ziguli zinesilinganiso seminyaka yobudala engama-84, body mass index (inkomba yesisindo somzimba) engu-21.7 kg/m², kanye nesilinganiso sowesilisa nowesifazane esingu-2:1. Ukuvela kwalesi sifo kwakuhlobene kakhulu neminyaka, ubulili, body mass index (inkomba yesisindo somzimba), sedentary time (isikhathi sokuhlala), type of chair used (uhlobo lwesihlalo esisetshenziswayo), kanye ne-hypertension (umfutho wegazi ophezulu). Longer sitting time (ukuhlala isikhathi eside) and prolonged use of bamboo chairs (nokusetshenziswa njalo kwezihlalo zoqalo) kwakuhlotshaniswa ne-severe lesions (izilonda ezinzima kakhulu). Izinguquko ze-Histopathologic (ze-Histopathological) zazingaqondile. Ukwelashwa okujwayelekile njengokuthuthukiswa kwendlela yokuphila, pressure‑reducing air mattresses (omatilasi bomoya abanciphisa ingcindezi), salicylic acid cream (ukhilimu we‑salicylic acid), kanye ne-moisturizing cream (ukhilimu othambisayo) kungadambisa skin lesions (izilonda esikhumbeni).
A total of 230 patients were included, of which 36 were diagnosed with geriatric buttock dermatosis, with a mean age of (84.2±12.6) years, mean body mass index of (21.7±3.8) kg/m2, and a male to female ratio of 2:1. There was a significant correlation between the occurrence of the disease and age, gender, body mass index, sedentary time, type of chair used, and hypertension (P<0.05). The severity of the lesions may be associated with longer sitting time and prolonged use of bamboo chairs (P<0.05). Histopathologic changes were not specific. The skin lesions could subside after general treatment such as improvement of lifestyle, use of pressure-reducing air mattresses, salicylic acid cream, and moisturizing creams.
