Aging Factor in Finger Temperature Response to Local Cold

Dry skin conditions are related to the recovery rate of skin temperature after cold stress rather than to blood flow

“…It has been reported that the RR is delayed with aging in healthy adults. 24 In our study, a weak negative correlation was observed between age and the RR although it was not statistically significant (R = À0.159, P = 0.242). There was no significant correlation between blood flow in a resting state and any skin parameter either by direct correlation analysis or by partial correlation analysis, which eliminates the effect of age (data not shown).…”
