Abstract
The importance of age and sex upon palmar sweating is demonstrated in a study of 768 normal individuals of both sexes, ranging in age from 6 months to 80 years. Females were found to have greater palmar sweat than males. The general hypothesis that palmar sweat decreases with age was corroborated. However, it was found that the relation is not linear: palmar sweat increases rapidly from birth to age 7–8, when it reaches a plateau, beginning then to decrease slowly into adolescence, adulthood, and later years.
