Dermatological Diseases and Cumulative Life Course Impairment

Abstract

This book, volume 44 of the series Current Problems in Dermatology, consisting in 4 Parts and 15 Chapters, represents the life course perspective to arrive at a better understanding and more effective treatment of skin dermatological diseases. Thus, it is important to find and treat people while they are still young rather than during the middle age or when they are elderly. Delayed treatment can cause other problems to accumulate such as obesity, depression, and loneliness, not all endogenous to the individual but influenced from the outside environment.
