Abstract
Skin blood flow was measured by local clearance of 133Xe, and skin temperature was measured by medical thermography in various parts of the body. 1. A significant linear decrease in skin blood flow was observed with increasing age in the deltoid region. 2. The skin blood flow in the facial and pectoral areas was considerably higher than in the deltoid region. 3. The skin blood flow in the posterior cervical, lateral thoracic, lateral abdominal, and gluteal sites was less than in the deltoid region.Keywords
