title: [Characteristics of hirsutism in fertile Russian and Armenian women and in infertile patients].
abstract: The authors investigated the characteristic features of pubescence in healthy fertile women of Russian (n = 300) and Armenian nationality (n = 150) and in infertile patients (n = 300). They assessed the criteria or normal female pubescence, liminal pubescence and hirsutism in the two populations. In healthy Armenian women the criteria of normal female pubescence and hirsutism are more marked (p less than 0.001) than in Russian women. In Armenian women significantly more frequently (p less than 0.05) an increased sensitivity of the skin to testosterone was observed, as compared with Russian women. In infertile patients hirsutism was found in 20%.
