Brittle Nails Syndrome is characterized by fragility of the nail plate, affecting 27% of women. We evaluated dermatology patients in a cross-sectional study about perception of nail fragility. One hundred and thirty eight women were included, with median age of 36.5 years. Nail examination showed changes in 57% and 49% reported nail fragility. The first three fingernails were the most affected. Onychoschizia was related to onychophagia (OR = 3.29), housework (OR = 2.95) and water contact (OR = 2.44). Onychorrhexis had the strongest association with nail fragility perception (OR = 17.89). The fragility was more perceived by those who were black, of mixed race and atopic, and was associated with depressed mood.
脆甲综合征的特征是甲板脆弱,影响27%的女性。我们在一项关于指甲脆弱感的横断面研究中对皮肤科患者进行了评估。纳入了138名女性,中位年龄为36.5岁。指甲检查显示57%有变化,49%报告有指甲脆弱。前三根手指的指甲受影响最大。甲裂片与咬甲癖(比值比=3.29)、家务劳动(比值比=2.95)和接触水(比值比=2.44)有关。甲纵嵴与指甲脆弱感的关联最强(比值比=17.89)。黑种人、混血人种和特应性体质的人更易察觉到指甲脆弱,且与情绪低落有关。
