Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for diagnosing early ageing of the skin in a subject, that in particular is pollution-related, comprising a step (a) of determining in a skin sample of the subject the level of at least one marker selected from the group constituted of fungi comprising a nucleic acid encoding an ITS1 («Internal Transcribed Spacer 1») region of sequence being at least 90% identical to sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5 or SEQ ID NO: 6, and optionally fungi comprising a nucleic acid encoding an ITS1 region of sequence being at least 90% identical to sequence SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9 or SEQ ID NO: 10.

Abstract: Methods and systems of the present invention generally relate to questionnaires and diagnostic algorithms. Features and principles of the present invention may include a method of generating a diagnostic algorithm. The method may involve receiving information reflecting a plurality of individuals' answers to questions, performing an analysis on the received information to generate a synthetic variable, and generating a diagnostic algorithm from at least the synthetic variable using a tree segmentation technique.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to methods of generating a profile data set. In an exemplary embodiment, data is accessed and the accessed data is processed using a dynamic cluster method, mobile center method, and/or a k-means algorithm, each using neighborhood data. Other aspects relate to methods of generating a diagnosis, advice, and/or other information. Further aspects relate to dynamic surveying and systems.

Abstract: Methods and systems for diagnosing and quantifying a degree of severity of hair loss. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided that includes the steps of determining a client's gender, presenting to the client a first set of gender-tailored questions for diagnosing hair loss, and determining whether the client suffers from (a) significant hair loss or (b) less significant hair loss based on the client's answers to the first set of questions. If the client is determined to suffer from significant hair loss, the client is diagnosed with severe hair loss. Alternatively, the method proceeds to the steps of presenting to the client a second set of gender-tailored questions for diagnosing hair loss, and determining whether the client suffers from (c) moderate hair loss or (d) slight hair loss based on the client's answers to the second set of questions.
