ABSTRACT
The work is based on the results of a microscopic examination of 46 men and 50 women who were examined at the medical center for the treatment of hair and skin in the period 2022-2023. Depending on the age of the subjects, they were divided into two groups. The first group included 52 people (25 men and 27 women) of young age (21-35 years old). The second group consisted of 44 people (21 men and 23 women) of senile age (75-86 years old). Hair sampling was performed in the temporal region of the head by combing out the hair that had already fallen out with a comb (they did not pull it out of the skin!). The sample of this study consisted of conditionally healthy individuals of the Slavic phenotype. The width of the hair follicle and the hair shaft were calculated. The results of this lifetime comparative analysis of the linear dimensions of the hair follicle and the hair shaft in the temporal region in persons of both sexes of young and old age allow us to expand the understanding of the features of their age-related changes, and further continue detailed study, since new knowledge is necessary for the development of modern methods for the prevention of age-associated pathologies of the scalp.
