Characterization of Skin Friction Coefficient and Relationship to Stratum Corneum Hydration in a Normal Chinese Population

摘要

Background and ObjectivesStudies have demonstrated that some cutaneous biophysical properties vary with age, gender and body sites. However, the characteristics of the skin friction coefficient in different genders and age groups have not yet been well established. In the present study, we assess the skin friction coefficient in a larger Chinese population.
