The Average Distance of the Frontal Hairline and its Structures in a Population of Colombian Women
Abstract
Introduction: The average distance of hairline measurements has been studied in multiple countries, finding important variations among them. At a local level, there are no studies that allow investigators to know the value for the Colombian population. Objective: Determine the average distance of the structures of the frontal hairline in women. Methodology: A cross-sectional analytical study carried out on healthy women over 18 years of age, who were assessed in the outpatient dermatology and plastic surgery departments of the FOSCAL clinic in Bucaramanga and they do not show capillary pathologies or craniofacial alterations. Results: The average age found was 34.3 years with ranging between 18 and 84 years, the most frequent skin phototype was III (42.3%), the frequency of the widow's peak was 47.6% with a height of 9.7 mm (CI 9.1-10.3) and width of 14.2 mm (CI 13.5-14.8). Discussion: The results that were found differ in a statistically significant way from the results reported in the United States and Spain; this difference may be due to ethnic origin; likewise, it is necessary to take into account the methodological design and the origin of the population of the studies were different, which could partly explain the differences as well. Conclusions: The measurements of the hairline in Colombia are different from those reported in the Spanish and American population; therefore, the use of local measures in surgical reconstruction procedures is recommended in order to achieve more consistent results with the local population. Additionally, this works as a point of reference to suspect about certain diseases in initial stages that occur with backward movement of the implantation line. Therefore, more prospective studies with larger sample sizes are required to allow researchers to study variations of the hairline within the same population, according to their anthropometric and dermatological measurements.
