The<unk>  is a method of evaluating and quantifying hirsutism in women. The method was originally published in 1961 by D.<unk>  and J.D.<unk>  in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology. Modified<unk>  The original method used 11 body areas to assess hair growth, but was decreased to 9 body areas in the modified method: *Upper lip *Chin *Chest *Upper back *Lower back *Upper abdomen *Lower abdomen *Upper arms *Forearms (deleted in the modified method) *Thighs *Legs (deleted in the modified method) In the modified method, hair growth is rated from 0 (no growth of terminal hair) to 4 (extensive hair growth) in each of the nine locations. A patient's score may therefore range from a minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 36. With each ethnic group, the amount of hair expected for that ethnicity should be considered. For example, in Caucasian women, a score of 8 or higher is regarded as indicative of androgen excess. The method was further modified in 2001 to include a total of 19 locations, with the 10 extra locations being: sideburns, neck, buttocks, inguinal area, perianal area, forearm, leg, foot, toes and fingers. Each area has its own specified definition of the four-point scale.
