Pressure sores can develop from a range of factors such as age, being in one position for too long, a person's skin integrity, dehydration, and many more.

It is not only the elderly and disabled that develop pressure sores, young fit people in orthopaedic wards and patients in intensive care units regardless of age can develop them too!
