OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH) among adolescents in Fuzhou City of PR China. METHODS: Stratified cluster sampling was carried out and a cross-sectional epidemiological survey by questionnaire was applied among 13,000 college and high school students. RESULTS: The prevalence rate of PPH was 4.59% affecting both sexes equally. The peak age of onset is 6-16 years, accounting for 95.6% of the PPH population. Positive family history was found in 15.3% PPH cases. Besides palms, axillae and soles can be also affected. CONCLUSIONS: PPH affects a larger group of individuals than previously reported. More measures should be taken to enhance the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of PPH.
