Vascular diseases in the mature patient

摘要

Aging results in both anatomic and physiologic changes in the skin's structure and vascular system. These vascular changes result in a wide array of dermatologic findings, ranging from the benign to the highly morbid. Herein, we review the impact of both intrinsic and common extrinsic factors of aging on cutaneous vasculature and highlight the manifestations of microvascular, venous, arterial, lymphatic, and neuropathic alterations in the geriatric population.
