SKIN AGING AND HAIR GRAYING IN HIROSHIMA

Journal Article · · Geriatrics (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4083529
Estimation of age by appearance, skin elasticity and looseness, and hair graying were studied in the irradiated and nonirradiated population of Hiroshima. No differences in these several measurements were detected between the radiation- exposed and nonexposed components of the sample. The study provided no support for the concept of a general, nonspecific aging acceleration, exemplified by aging of skin and hair, as a late radiation sequela. (auth)
