Introduction: There is limited data regarding epidemiological and clinical characteristics of psoriasis in the elderly population. We sought to demonstrate epidemiological and clinical features, treatments, and comorbidities in elderly patients with psoriasis. Additionally, we evaluated whether the age at disease onset had an impact on disease characteristics.
