Abstract：
Xerosis cutis in older adults is a geriatric public health issue that severely affects healthy aging, associated with adverse outcomes and increased nursing burden. Skin care plays a significant role in the management of xerosis cutis.
To assess the pooled prevalence and interventions of xerosis cutis among older adults.
We searched ten databases systematically from inception to August 29, 2023. We estimated pooled prevalence of xerosis cutis using Stata 15.0.
28 articles were included in this review. The pooled prevalence of xerosis cutis was 53 %(95 %CI:36-69 %). We found the prevalence of xerosis cutis was highest in nursing homes and developed countries. The prevalence of xerosis cutis was similar in males and females. The prevalence of mild xerosis cutis and xerosis cutis at lower limbs was relatively high. Regular use of humectant-containing leave-on skin care products and structured skin care regimens were helpful in alleviating xerosis cutis.
Older adults are at high risk for xerosis cutis. The research provides health professionals with a basic framework for the prevention and management of xerosis cutis.

摘要：
背景：老年人皮肤干燥是一个严重影响健康老龄化的老年公共卫生问题，与不良结局和护理负担增加相关。皮肤护理在皮肤干燥的管理中起着重要作用。
目的：评估老年人皮肤干燥症的合并患病率和干预措施。
方法：我们从开始到2023年8月29日系统地搜索了十个数据库。我们使用Stata15.0估计了皮肤干燥的合并患病率。
结果：本综述包括28篇文章。皮肤干燥的合并患病率为53％（95CI：36-69％）。我们发现，在疗养院和发达国家，皮肤干燥的患病率最高。男性和女性皮肤干燥的患病率相似。轻度皮肤干燥和下肢皮肤干燥的患病率相对较高。定期使用含湿润剂的免洗型护肤产品和结构化护肤方案有助于减轻皮肤干燥。
结论：老年人皮肤干燥的风险很高。该研究为卫生专业人员提供了预防和管理皮肤干燥的基本框架。
