Comparing by Chi-square test, scabies, bacterial infection, chronic ulcers, pruritus, and brown spots on the legs were present significantly in certain major systemic diseases, respectively. Higher prevalence of certain skin diseases was related to the severity of disability or major systemic diseases of the residents.
