transdermal oxygen uptake through skin remains consistent across age groups
Transcutaneous oxygen uptake was not significantly affected by age (young: 0.515 ± 0.224 ml O2 m⁻² min⁻¹ vs. old: 0.543 ± 0.313 ml O2 m⁻² min⁻¹, P = 0.83), indicating transdermal gas delivery is equally effective across age groups.
What this means for you
Your skin's ability to absorb oxygen directly doesn't appear to decline as you get older. This suggests that the potential circulatory and cellular support from transdermal gas exposure may be just as accessible at 60 as it is at 30 — a reassuring finding for anyone using this approach later in life.
