BACKGROUND
Although prisoner health is a topic of significant importance, it has received limited attention in epidemiological studies, likely due to challenges in obtaining data. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of skin diseases among elderly prisoners in Taiwan.
METHODS
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). Additionally, the most common types of skin diseases among elderly prisoners in Taiwan were identified.
RESULTS
The prevalence of skin diseases among prisoners was estimated to be 55.03%. Elderly men prisoners exhibited a higher prevalence of skin diseases than the women prisoners. The most common skin diseases observed were as follows: contact dermatitis and other forms of eczema; pruritus and related conditions; cellulitis and abscesses; and urticaria.
CONCLUSION
Skin diseases were identified in more than half of the elderly prisoners. The overall quality of life of elderly prisoners can be improved by addressing their skin health, which would contribute to the fulfilment of their basic human rights.

背景
尽管囚犯健康是一个非常重要的话题，但在流行病学研究中却很少受到关注，这可能是由于获取数据的困难。因此，本研究旨在调查台湾老年囚犯中皮肤病的患病率。
方法
我们根据国际疾病分类，第 9 修订版临床修正（ICD-9-CM），检查了 2215 名老年囚犯中皮肤病的存在情况。此外，还确定了台湾老年囚犯中最常见的皮肤病类型。
结果
囚犯中皮肤病的患病率估计为 55.03%。老年男性囚犯比女性囚犯更易患皮肤病。最常见的皮肤病如下：接触性皮炎和其他形式的湿疹；瘙痒和相关病症；蜂窝织炎和脓肿；和荨麻疹。
结论
超过一半的老年囚犯患有皮肤病。解决老年囚犯的皮肤健康问题可以提高他们的整体生活质量，从而实现他们的基本人权。
