The intensity of skin autofluorescence showed differences between genders and among anatomical regions. The 340 nm intensity was 1.4 times higher in the male group in all 3 anatomical regions studied. The highest intensity of skin autofluorescence for the peaks at 340/280 nm and 600/400 nm was found on the forehead, whereas the 390/325 nm band was most intensive on the inner upper arm in both genders.
