Counts of melanocytic naevi of 2 mm or greater diameter on all body sites were conducted in 197 Caucasian adults in Scotland. Mean naevus numbers were greater in young than in older adults, and in females than in males. Naevus counts on the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk were strongly and significantly correlated with each other and with whole body counts. Thus, where whole body counts are impractical, counting naevi at any of these individual sites should provide a satisfactory method for studying naevus distribution in large populations.
在苏格兰的197名白种成年人身上，对所有身体部位直径2毫米或更大的黑素细胞痣进行了计数。年轻人的平均痣数多于老年人，女性多于男性。上肢、下肢和躯干的痣计数彼此之间以及与全身计数都呈强且显著的相关性。因此，在全身计数不切实际的情况下，在这些个体部位中的任何一个部位计数痣，都应为研究大群体中的痣分布提供一种令人满意的方法。
