Skin water evaporation measurement
A measurement combining water loss through the epidermal barrier, sweat evaporation and evaporation of residual surface water
Hypotheses on this target 1
Telling states apart1
Direct measurement
Indicator replacement
Telling states apart1
Mixed sources of evaporating water may create an apparent delay in skin barrier recovery
Where this hypothesis actsTreated and young participants undergoing different sequences of identical safe challenges
What is proposedSeparate the sources of the evaporative signal and account for surface temperature
With whatInstrument or assay
HowIndependently assess sweating, residual surface water and temperature using spatially matched measurements; estimate uncertainty in separating the flows
Possible resultExpected disappearance of the age-related group-by-order interaction after separating water sources
