Description
Ng, Zhou, Li, and Chew test in twenty twenty-four whether wrinkle grading scales made for white skin work fairly on Chinese skin. Skin differs by ancestry, so a scale built on one group might misjudge another. Three trained assessors graded four wrinkle types on over one thousand young Chinese adults from a Singapore and Malaysia study.
The white-skin scales and Chinese scales agreed well on all four wrinkle types. Both detected the presence or absence of each wrinkle with good accuracy. Assessors were also highly consistent with themselves across repeats. The authors say white-skin scales can be used with confidence on Chinese faces for these wrinkle types. Scales for other wrinkle types still need their own Chinese versions and tests.
