Epidemiology of eyelid disorders in an elderly population: Tehran Geriatric Eye Study.

This study demonstrates that the prevalence of eyelid disorders increases with age in older adults.

We observed significant sex-based differences in several conditions, most notably in eyelid tumors and malpositions, suggesting that aging interacts distinctively with environmental and genetic risk factors between men and women.

Furthermore, systemic factors such as diabetes and obesity were also associated with specific eyelid pathologies, underscoring the importance of considering these comorbidities during geriatric examinations.
