The present study increased the number of elderly volunteers and investigated the relationship between free-living daily physical activity and the epidermal physical barrier in more detail. A total of 105 healthy elderly volunteers (age 66–93 yr) participated in the study. To assess the physical activity, we used an electric pedometer. We measured moisture content of the stratum corneum with moisture checker and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) with VapoMeter. Moisture content of the stratum corneum (p < 0.01) and TEWL (p < 0.05) on the forearm were significantly lower than those on the corner of an eye. In moisture content of the stratum corneum (r = 0.411, p < 0.01) and TEWL (r = 0.202, p < 0.05), there were significant correlations between the forearm and the corner of an eye. Additionally, on the forearm (r = 0.402, p < 0.01) and the corner of an eye (r = -0.326, p < 0.01), there were significant correlations between moisture content of the stratum corneum and TEWL. The relationship between free-living daily physical activity and the epidermal physical barrier is under analysis.
