’n Studie wat 230 pasiënte betrek het, het bevind dat 36 geriatriese bouddermatose gehad het. Hierdie pasiënte het 'n gemiddelde ouderdom van 84 jaar, 'n gemiddelde liggaamsmassa‑indeks van 21.7 kg/m² en 'n man‑tot‑vrou verhouding van 2:1. Die voorkoms van die siekte was beduidend gekoppel aan ouderdom, geslag, liggaamsmassa‑indeks, sittende tyd, tipe stoel wat gebruik word en hipertensie. Langer sitperiodes en gereelde gebruik van bamboesstoele is geassosieer met erger letsels. Histopatologiese veranderinge was nie‑spesifiek. Algemene behandelings soos lewenstylverbeterings, drukverlagende lugmatrasse, salisielzuurroom en bevogtigende ys kan die velletsels verlig.
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.
