Abstract
Background. Population ageing is ongoing in the Russian Federation. Demographic changes may influence the age structure and dynamics of epidemiological rates of chronic skin disorders, as well as the need of elderly patients in specialized medical care.
 Aims. To study the dynamics of number of cases, incidence and prevalence of psoriasis, and the dynamics of the number of hospital admissions for psoriasis among elderly population (males 60 years and older, females 55 years and older) in 20102019 in the Russian Federation.
 Materials and methods. Analysis of federal statistic surveillance data, psoriasis prevalence and incidence rates among different age groups of population.
 Results. In the Russian Federation there is an increase in absolute number of cases, prevalence and incidence rates of psoriasis among elderly population. There is an increase in the number of hospital admissions due to psoriasis among patients with psoriasis of this age.
 Conclusions. An increase of the number and proportion of cases of psoriasis among elderly population is due to both, an increase of prevalence and incidence rates in this age group and population ageing. There is a high need in specialized medical care among elderly population with psoriasis.

Summary
Population ageing is ongoing in the Russian Federation. Demographic changes may influence the age structure and dynamics of epidemiological rates of chronic skin disorders, as well as the need of elderly patients in specialized medical care. Поскольку одним из наиболее клинически, социально и экономически значимых дерматозов является псориаз, целью исследования явилась сравнительная характеристика динамики числа зарегистрированных случаев, показателей распространенности и заболеваемости псориазом среди населения старше трудоспособного возраста (мужчины в возрасте 60 лет и старше и женщины в возрасте 55 лет и старше) Российской Федерации, а также динамики объемов оказанной этим пациентам специализированной медицинской помощи за период 2010–2019 гг. Однако наиболее существенный прирост числа случаев псориаза, на 54%, отмечается среди населения в возрасте старше трудоспособного — с 59 846 в 2010 г. Вследствие более интенсивного прироста числа случаев псориаза, зарегистрированных среди лиц старше трудоспособного возраста, доля случаев заболеваний среди этой группы пациентов за период 2010–2019 гг. При этом доля случаев псориаза среди населения в возрасте 0–17 лет уменьшилась с 10 до 9%, доля среди взрослых трудоспособного возраста — с 71 до 65% The prevalence of psoriasis among the entire population of the Russian Federation, 2010–2019
