Table 2 Correlation between skin roughness parameters and age difference BA – CA

From: Difference between the biologic and chronologic age as an individualized indicator for the skin care intensity selection: skin topography and immune system state studies, parameter correlations with age difference

Skin roughness parameter (calculated by the Cutometer embedded software)

BA – CA

Sa, average roughness

− 0.381*

Smax, maximum stretching of the roughness profile (difference between the highest “peak” and the deepest “valley” within the whole measured area)

− 0.194

Sz, ten-point height (average value of 5 highest peaks minus average value of 5 deepest valleys within the whole measured area)

− 0.278

Sp, height of the greatest profile peak

− 0.268

Sv, depth of the deepest profile valley

0.413**

Sda, mean dale area (average value of the local profile slope in the measured plane)

− 0.269
