Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previous studies have revealed that changes in the structure of the dermal layer are caused in obese and overweight people. In this study, objective parameters in the assessment of obesity and overweight's skin using bioengineering nursing methods were explored. As a result, it was suggested that the dermal thicknessand the dermal echogenicity by the high-frequency ultrasonography could be useful parameters.
