Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of skin diseases among elderly prisoners in Taiwan.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We examined the presence of skin diseases in 2215 elderly prisoners based on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).

Elderly men prisoners exhibited a higher prevalence of skin diseases than the women prisoners.
