Abstract
This observational study, conducted at Krishna Hospital in Karad, aimed to comprehensively explore pruritic disorders' clinical and epidemiological aspects in individuals aged 60 years and above. The primary focus was on understanding the effects of pruritus on quality of life and investigating the prevalence, distribution, and predictors of pruritic conditions in the elderly population. Executed between February 2021 and July 2022, the study included 200 participants meeting specific inclusion criteria, with ethical standards upheld through written consent. Exclusion criteria were applied to refine the study population. The research adopted a hospital-based clinical-epidemiological observational cross-sectional design within the dermatology department, providing a realistic healthcare setting. Participants underwent comprehensive systemic and cutaneous examinations, completing a locally designed questionnaire.
