Describe normal age-associated skin changes. How do age-related changes of the skin affect wound healing in older adults?
Normal age-associated skin changes include a reduction in the moisture content of the skin, skin looking, thinner, paler, and clear (translucent). Large pigmented spots, such as; age spots, liver spots, or lentigos, appearing in sun-exposed areas.
