[en] Onychomycoses represent a group of nail affections caused by one or more
fungi. Whether aging represents a risk factor for developing onychomycosis,
remains a question.
In the present work, we studied the variations in frequency and prevalence of
onychomycoses and non-mycotic onychodystrophies according to age.
Our results show that there is an increase in the frequency and prevalence of
onychomycoses and non-mycotic onychodystrophies predominantly in patients
over forty years of age.
