[Aging changes of passive electrical and mechanical properties of human skin (author's transl)].

Mechanical and electrical properties of human skin are definable by a apparatus, developed by Pliquett and Rollius (1975). Using this method was determined a value, correlate to the product of the elasticity and the electrical conductance on 90 healthy persons. This value depends in a characteristically way on age, with a maximum near 25 and 55 years. The amount of the maximum depends on sex and profession of the probands.
