As people age, the likelihood that they will experience maladies of the skin increases. It is therefore important that older individuals possess the necessary knowledge and proper attitudes and practices regarding their skincare. The purpose of this study was to examine such knowledge, attitudes, and practices among older members of the Saudi Arabian population. The results of the study showed that among the majority of the participants, skincare practices could be considered insufficient and, surprisingly, elderly men undertake better skincare practices than women of this age category. It is recommended that more should be done to educate those within the older Saudi population regarding skin care practices.
随着人们年龄的增长，他们出现皮肤疾病的可能性会增加。因此，老年人掌握必要的皮肤护理知识、具备正确的态度和做法非常重要。本研究的目的是调查沙特阿拉伯老年人群体中的此类知识、态度和做法。研究结果表明，在大多数参与者中，皮肤护理做法可能被认为是不足的，而且令人惊讶的是，老年男性的皮肤护理做法比这个年龄段的女性更好。建议采取更多措施对沙特老年人群体进行皮肤护理方面的教育。
