to study the amount and distribution of terminal body hair in non-hirsute women consulting in a public outpatient clinic.
two hundred thirty six premenopausal women consulting in a birth control clinic or consulting for acute non-endocrinological diseases were studied. Body hair was assessed with a semi-quantitative clinical method described by Ferriman and Gallwey.
Ninety-five percent of women had a score equal or less than 5. No correlations were found between the score and body mass index or age. Partial scores over 1 were found specially in the lower abdomen, chest, superior lip and thighs.
This sample of women, coming from middle and low socioeconomic levels, appears more hairless than European or North American Women. Thus, hirsutism must be suspected with scores over 5. These results cannot be extrapolated to all Chilean women, due to differences in ethnical backgrounds.
研究在公立门诊就诊的非多毛女性终末体毛的数量和分布情况。
对在计划生育门诊就诊或因急性非内分泌疾病就诊的236名绝经前女性进行了研究。采用费里曼和高尔韦描述的半定量临床方法评估体毛情况。
95%的女性得分等于或低于5分。得分与体重指数或年龄之间未发现相关性。得分超过1分的部分情况特别出现在下腹部、胸部、上唇和大腿。
来自社会经济中低水平的这一样本女性似乎比欧洲或北美女性毛发更少。因此，得分超过5分时必须怀疑有多毛症。由于种族背景存在差异，这些结果不能外推至所有智利女性。
