Using a technique previously described the rate of growth and hair density of the axillary region was studied. The investigations were carried out on 126 individuals of both sexes whose age ranged between 10 and 74 years. The subjects were grouped according to 3 age periods: pubescence, sexual maturity and senescence. Pregnancy and post-partum were investigated separately. The axilla was divided into three subregions: central, thoracic and brachial. Analysis of the results showed that the central axillary hairs show a great rate of growth and hair density than the other subregions. Furthermore, the rate of growth and hair density decrease with age. The speed of growth decreased between the 13th week of pregnancy and the 5th week of post-partum. Hair density decreased significantly in the central and thoracic subregions in th 5 weeks after delivery. The brachial subregion does not participate in those changes. |
