'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' has been a mystery to many healthcare professionals, especially in the [[United States]], where the great majority of men have been [[circumcised]] for several generations. The percentage of males in the United States being circumcised is constantly declining so one may expect a higher percentage of elderly [[intact]] men in the future geriatric population.
Although the human [[foreskin]] is naturally provided with numerous [[Immunological and protective function of the foreskin| immunological and protective functions]], normal, [[intact]] elderly men may require regular care by healthcare professionals, if they have become incapacitated by advancing age or because of dementia. These [[foreskinned]] men may be likely to reside in a home for the elderly. Some care providers have expressed concern that they do not have guidance on the care of [[intact]] elderly men, who still have a [[foreskin]] and a [[preputial sac]], but may no longer be able to care for themselves.
[[Marilyn Fayre Milos]], R. N., the executive director of NOCIRC and a registered nurse, provided a nursing guidance for caretakers of elderly men, which remains the best guidance available on this topic.
