Relationship between skin hydration and elasticity in normal weighted subjects and the influence of age
Relationship between skin hydration and elasticity in normal weighted subjects and the influence of age
Jornal de Investigação Biomédica e Biofarmacêutica
Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is a protective organ and of all its known functions, the most significant is the capacity to adapt itself to the contours of the body. The current study aims to determine the extent to which hydration influences or is influenced by elasticity, by comparing the parameters of hydration and elasticity. A convenience sample of 42 volunteers was selected all of whom were female, healthy and with normal BMI according to WHO. The “barrier” function was characterized by the transepidermal water loss (Tewameter TM300); the superficial epidermal hydration was measured by Moisturemeter SC and Corneometer and the “envelope” function was assessed by the Cutometer MPA580 and by the reviscometer RV600. Measurements were taken on the face (zygomatic and frontal areas), in the breast and in the abdominal areas. The most significant results show that almost all hydration and elasticity parameters fluctuate with age, which corresponds to previous studies. Moreover, there is some interaction between hydration parameters and some elasticity descriptors that should be investigated in future studies.
A pele constitui o maior órgão do corpo humano. As diversas funções cutâneas que conhecemos reúnem-se na sua capacidade de protecção e de adaptação ao contorno corporal. O presente estudo visa comparar parâmetros de hidratação e elasticidade, de forma a determinar de que forma uma poderá influenciar ou ser influenciada pela outra. Para tal, foi selecionada uma amostra de conveniência de 42 voluntárias, do sexo feminino, saudáveis e normoponderais (de acordo com a classificação internacional da OMS). Afunção “barreira” da pele foi caracterizada pela perda transepidérmica de água (Tewameter TM300); a hidratação superficial foi medida através da utilização do Moisturemeter SC e Corneometer; e a função “envelope” foi medida através da utilização do Cutometer MPA580 e Reviscometer RV600. As medições foram efetuadas na face (zona zigomática e fronte), na mama e no abdómen. Os resultados mais significativos demonstram uma influência da idade na alteração dos diversos parâmetros avaliados, de acordo com o que se encontra publicados. Para além disso, parece existir alguma relação entre os parâmetros de hidratação e alguns descritores biomecânicos, a qual deverá ser investigada em estudos futuros.
