| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to document transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in infants residing in a region located outside a large city or urban area as well as individual and environmental factors, and to search for any distinguishing features and correlations. A significant difference was observed in transepidermal water loss in children residing in a region located outside a large city (Fukui Prefecture) or urban area(Tokyo Metropolis), and a significant difference was observed also in cuticle water content measured at the same time. It was clear that infants living in an administrative district outside of an urban area (Fukui Prefecture) retained more water in their cuticles than infants residing in a large city (Tokyo Metropolis), and transpired more water through the epidermis. It was suggested that TEWL in infants may differ according to age and gender, and is influenced by outdoor humidity, outdoor temperature, surface temperature, and cuticle water content. Also, TEWL is influenced by the status of a child’ s development of self-controlling behavior and stress behavior.
