An examination of the quantitative characteristics of the skin of the digital pulps in a Central European population sample (Giessen, Hessen) of 625 persons (273 males and 352 females) was made. From the accumulation concerning the distribution of the ridge counts of each finger resulted for the left and for the right hand of men as well as for the right hand of females the following sequence I-IV-V-III-II, while the count of ridges diminished. On the left hand of females both first positions are exchanged. All pairs of fingers show, however, only partially significant higher values on the right homologous parts. The total amounts of the ridge values on the right and on the left hand differ significantly. With regard to males the amount of the ridges of the right hand is on the average four to five ridges higher than the left hand. Concerning females the difference is on the average four to five ridges. The following characteristics of the skin ridges have been examined with regard to sex differences: ridge counts of the single fingers, amounts of ridge counts of the right and left hand, total ridge count (TRC) and absolute ridge count (ALZ). Each of the examined characteristics show that males have higher ridge values than females. But the sexes distinguish significantly only with regard to four of ten fingers, in the amounts of ridge counts of the right and left hand and the TRC. The TRC of females amounts to 127.62, the TRC of males to 138.43. The values of TRC are distributed normally in both sexes. The rates of the correlation coefficient range in males in the field of 0.43 and 0.82, in females in the field of 0.42 and 0.82 and all are significantly positive. The homologous fingers correlate most strongly with each other. With respect to tendency concerning increasing distance of the fingers from each other, a decrease of correlation can be stated on the hand.
对中欧地区（黑森州吉森市）625人（273名男性和352名女性）的指腹皮肤定量特征进行了研究。根据各手指嵴纹计数分布的累积情况，男性左手和右手以及女性右手的嵴纹计数顺序为I-IV-V-III-II，且嵴纹计数逐渐减少。女性左手的前两个位置互换。然而，所有手指对在右侧相应部位的数值仅部分显著更高。右手和左手的嵴纹总值存在显著差异。男性右手的嵴纹数量平均比左手高4至5条。女性的差异平均为4至5条嵴纹。针对性别差异，研究了以下皮肤嵴纹特征：单个手指的嵴纹计数、右手和左手的嵴纹计数总和、总嵴纹计数（TRC）和绝对嵴纹计数（ALZ）。所研究的每个特征都表明男性的嵴纹数值高于女性。但仅在十个手指中的四个、右手和左手的嵴纹计数总和以及总嵴纹计数方面，两性存在显著差异。女性的总嵴纹计数为127.62，男性为138.43。总嵴纹计数在两性中均呈正态分布。男性的相关系数范围在0.43至0.82之间，女性在0.42至0.82之间，且均为显著正相关。同源手指之间的相关性最强。就手指之间距离增加的趋势而言，手上的相关性会降低。
