ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Pressure injuries (PIs) result from continuous compression on bony prominences, causing hypoxia and tissue necrosis.

Objectives: To review the scientific literature on the prevalence of pressure ulcers in institutionalized elderly individuals and to identify the main associated risk factors.
