Abstract
Sve je veći udio starije populacije u stanovništvu, a s obzirom na kroničnu prirodu bolesti i kontinuirani rast životnog vijeka, očekuje se i porast prevalencije psorijaze u starijoj životnoj dobi. Iako se kliničke manifestacije psorijaze ne razlikuju puno u bolesnika starije životne dobi u usporedbi s mlađim bolesnicima, ipak postoje određene promjene koje pri liječenju treba uzeti u obzir. Fiziološke promjene koje se prirodno javljaju procesom starenja uključuju progresivno oštećenje funkcije nekoliko organa te oslabljen imunološki sustav. Ovo životno razdoblje donosi više komorbiditeta, polifarmaciju i podložnost štetnom učinku lijekova. Sve nabrojeno izuzetno otežava odabir odgovarajuće terapije za bolesnike ove životne dobi te od liječnika zahtijeva ne samo da lijek koji odabere bude djelotvoran, nego i siguran za organizam te financijski dostupan. Također je važno napomenuti i činjenicu da postoji mali broj studija koje proučavaju djelovanje lijekova na ovu specifičnu populaciju pa prema tome ne postoje niti točno određene smjernice za liječenje kao što je slučaj kod mlađih bolesnika sa psorijazom. Kako bi pristup liječenju u ovoj populaciji bio najpovoljniji, potrebna su daljnja klinička istraživanja i razvoj specifičnih smjernica za liječenje u gerijatrijskoj populaciji.
Abstract (english)
Proportion of geriatric population is growing every day and due to the chronic nature of the disease and continuing rise in life expectancy, the prevalence of psoriasis among elderly is also expected to rise. Although clinical manifestations of psoriasis do not differ much in elderly compared to younger patients, there are still certain changes that should be taken into account during management of psoriasis in elderly patients. Physiological changes occurring naturally in the aging process include progressive functional impairment of several organs and immunosenescence. This period of life brings more comorbidities, polypharmacy and possible adverse effects. In order to choose the right therapy for elderly, the doctor should prescribe not only effective drug but also safe and financially available. Studies on the elderly population with psoriasis are scarce and therefore there are no specific treatment guidelines as in the case of younger patients with psoriasis. Further clinical research and development of specific treatment guidelines in geriatric population are needed in order to optimize the therapeutic approach in this population.
