Zusammenfassung

Die Hautalterung, die durch Umweltfaktoren hervorgerufen wird, bezeichnet man als extrinsische Hautalterung. Der bekannteste Umweltfaktor, der die extrinsische Hautalterung hervorruft, ist die Sonnenstrahlung. Daher ist die extrinsische Hautalterung auch häufig unter der Bezeichnung „Photoaging“ zu finden. Allerdings konnte in den letzten Jahren in zahlreichen Studien nachgewiesen werden, dass auch das Rauchen von Zigaretten zur extrinsischen Hautalterung beiträgt. Weiterhin konnte im letzten Jahr eine Assoziation zwischen einer Umweltverschmutzung durch Luftschadstoffe des Verkehrs mit dem Auftreten von extrinsischen Hautalterungszeichen aufgezeigt werden. Somit muss heutzutage in präventiven Strategien der Hautalterung auch eine langzeitige Exposition mit Luftschadstoffen berücksichtigt werden.

Abstract

Extrinsic skin aging is the skin aging process induced by environmental factors. The most prominent environmental factor leading to extrinsic skin aging is the sun; therefore extrinsic skin aging is also known as photoaging. However, numerous studies in recent years have shown that smoking leads to extrinsic skin aging. Further, very recently it has been shown, that environmental pollution by traffic is also associated with the occurrence of signs of extrinsic skin aging. Thus, in preventive skin aging strategies the long-term exposure towards air pollution by traffic must also be considered.
