Purpose: This study was performed to identify skin health status and the factors influencing skin hydration in the institutionalized elderly.
Methods: The subjects were 139 elders living in 2 nursing homes in Seoul. Data for skin health status were collected by measurement of skin hydration, sebum, trans-epidermal water loss and pH using Corneometer, Sebumeter, Tewameter and Skin pH-meter on face, flank, arm and leg. Baseline data were collected by a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 12.0 program.
Results: Skin hydration and pH were relatively low especially on arms and legs but sebum and TEWL were not low, relatively.

There was significant positive correlation between skin-hydration and bath-time, TEWL and bath-frequency.
