Exogenous factors in skin aging

Landau, Marina·2007·Current problems in dermatology

Abstract

The dramatic alteration in the appearance of the skin with aging is related to both intrinsic (genetic) and exogenous factors. While intrinsic aging is an insidious degenerative process predictable in outcome, the superposition of environmental factors is neither universal nor inevitable. There are distinct morphologic and histological features differentiating intrinsic and extrinsic aging of the skin. The most well appreciated environmental factors affecting skin aging are sun exposure and smoking. Recent advances in molecular biology have increased our understanding of the mechanisms by which exogenous factors contribute to the cutaneous aging. The skin is equipped with numerous inherent mechanisms that protect and defend against accelerating aging. But the efficacy of these mechanisms decreases significantly over a lifetime. In this review, we summarize the features of extrinsic aging and biochemical steps involved in this process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
