Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To study if acne vulgaris (AV) correlates with the digit ratio among Han population in Zhejiang province. Methods Adopt direct measurement method was used to measure the digit length 2D to 5D of AV patients and healthy people among Han Population in Zhejiang Province with the electronic digital caliper. Levels of AV severity were determined according to the international classification. Results An analysis was made on the digit lengths of 261 AV patients (74.3% are female) and 381 healthy people (59.6% are female) aging from 18 to 25 years.2D∶4D and 3D∶4D of female AV patients were significantly lower than female healthy people（P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）.2D∶3D，2D∶5D，4D∶5D and 3D∶5D of AV patients group and healthy group were almost same. The ratio of all digits had not too much differences in male AV patients group and male healthy group. Conclusion The onset of AV among Female Han Population in Zhejiang Province correlates with their low ratios of 2D∶4D，3D∶4D.
