Anti-aging Examination and Dermatology

Abstract

A countermeasure for medical examination and dermatology treatment in an aging society is proposed. Measurement methods and items measured during the anti-aging examination currently being performed at Kinki University School of Medicine, Nara Hospital were described. First, the antioxidation power and hormone value are gauged by blood vessel age, nervous system age, muscle age, bone age and skin age. Nutrition guidance and exercise guidance are given along with supplemental guidance for an individualized anti-aging program based on the overall aging pattern. It is necessary to study skin from the perspective of preventive medicine and evaluate skin aging along with other factors demonstrating the external and internal aging processes and to consider the role of dermatology in medical examination and treatment in the future.
