TL;DR: A method was developed for the semiquantitative assessment of body hair growth, and suitable for use in the study of clinical problems associated with hirsuties in women, and an “hormonal” score obtained by adding the gradings obtained from 9 of the 11 sites is being employed in clinical studies.
