Theertha has interesting data on Nail growth in 6 days of 24 Yr Female, 55 Yr Female and 57 Yr Male.

Highest Nail Growth in 24 Yr old Female.

Voter’s ink mark can be a good source for studing nail growth?
How do we measure nail growth?
Is it a good idea to collect the data of nail growth from this Lok Sabha Election?@Bhagwati Mam @Susanta Tanti CUBE @Kashyap Sapekhati @biswayini @Kiran Ma’am @Aditya Joshi @Himanshu Joshi & others

[16/05, 10:24 am] +91 98205 56421: I can see two tiny white spots. Indication of skin separation?
[16/05, 10:26 am] Abhijeet Singh: Actually my skin is coming off from there. For reference we can compare with my middle finger.
[16/05, 10:27 am] +91 98205 56421: Ok
[16/05, 11:06 am] +91 98205 56421: Interesting!
24 years male nail reveals thin line but 20 years doesn’t!
I expected 20 years to grow faster.
[16/05, 11:41 am] Arunan Sir: Great, A research question emerging. @⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩ @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ Let’s state this by @⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩ as Hypothesis on Nail Growth in males in the 20s @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ How do we proceed to get more samples and better data to verify or falsify the hypothesis, suggested by Vijaya Tilak CUBE, Indian Women’s Scientists Association (IWSA). @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨Amritha CUBE⁩ Let’s have a study.
[16/05, 11:44 am] Abhijeet Singh: Question is
Which age group have have high nail growth rates.

Vijaya ma’am’s Hypothesis:
Individuals of Younger age should show high nail growth rate.

Is this how you want it to be stated?
@⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩
[16/05, 11:45 am] Arunan Sir: What was your expectation about your nail growth in about 3 days or 72 hours?@⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ Let’s have chat on it.
[16/05, 11:50 am] Arunan Sir: Can we have more clear photos? @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ You could help from another person while taking your nail photo, in case you are not comfortable focusing etc. @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ Very crucial to verify or falsify the Hypothesis that the Nail Growth rate higher among males in their late 20s than early 20s. @⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩ @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩
[16/05, 11:51 am] Abhijeet Singh: I was expecting there won’t be any significant change or movement of the voters marks. I think my nail growth is slow.

Even last time in June I did with heena so I got around ~4mm growth in 1 month.
[16/05, 11:51 am] Abhijeet Singh: NOT EVEN 5mm GROWTH IN 1 MONTH! * Applied _mehendi _ on my thumb on 9th May 2023. Today after 1 month and 2 days the growth is around 4.5mm. My nails growth is extremely slow or this was expected in my age group? What do you think about it @jaikishan @anindita8820 @Varsha18 @meena74 @Arunan @GN @Smiti @Theertha @dhanraj7 @AshutoshB and others… Cube Homelab Ulwe Navi Mumbai, 12th June 2023.

[16/05, 11:56 am] +91 98205 56421: We have so much of info in this group regarding nail growth studies.
Can we make a table excel spreadsheet of
Age group below 20;
21-25; 26-30;31-40; 41-50;51-60;60+
Should include gender, health issues, date of voting, skin break, 1 mm growth and ink mark leaving the nail. May not be difficult but comprehensive for the entire country.

Today as well after 97 hours I cannot see any significant movement of the nail mark on the nail bed from the Proximal to the distal end. My skin towards the proximal end got off while working so that’s why we are observing a gap here.

[17/05, 1:26 pm] Abhijeet Singh: The linear nail growth rate is a simple, inexpensive, noninvasive technique for the measurement of aging. When the many endogenous and exogenous factors known to influence this rate are either controlled or considered, the measurement of the rate for 1 year gives data that are both age-related and age-caused. The rate of linear nail growth decreases 50% over the life spans of both dogs and humans. In the beagle, which has a life span 20% that of man; the rate of decrease is 5 times faster than in man. There are circadian and multiple-year biorhythms of the rate of linear nail growth. There are approximately 7-yr periods of slow decline that al-terna te with 7- yr periods of more rapid decline.

[17/05, 1:31 pm] Abhijeet Singh: Both dogs and humans experience a 50% decrease in nail growth rate over their lifetimes.

nail growth rate follows circadian rhythms and alternates between seven-year periods of slower and faster decline.
@⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨~prthvirajprthviraj345⁩ whats our comment on this?
[17/05, 1:40 pm] Abhijeet Singh: A 35-year observation of the growth of my nails indicates the slowing of growth with increasing age. The average daily growth of the left thumbnail, for instance, has varied from 0.123 mm a day during the first part of the study when 1 was 32 years of age to 0.095 mm a day at the age of 67.

[17/05, 1:42 pm] Dr.Dinesh Datta CUBE: Interesting
[17/05, 2:55 pm] Abhijeet Singh: The rate of linear nail growth increased until well into the 3rd decade of life. From 25 to 100 years of age, the rate decreased approximately 0.5% per year from an average of 0.9 mm/week in the 3rd decade. Men had a more rapid rate than women until the 6th decade (curve A in Fig 8). By the 8th decade, women had a more rapid rate than men (curve B in Fig 8). The longitudinal 36-year data of Bean [1-4] on himself from age 32 to 68 was recalculated in millimeters per week for each year (curve C in Fig 8).

My brother’s Voters mark.
The ink over the Proximal Fold didn’t hold onto it seems.

Also after 104 hours (4.3 days approx) there seems less than half millimetre movement of the ink mark from the proximal to the distal end of the nail.

To my observation growth of nail and age are related. As age increases nail growth decreases. Only in few cases difference is noted.

[01/06, 12:12 pm] Arunan Sir: Any Hypothesis? @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩

Do the evidence, so far, tend to verify or falsify your Hypothesis on Nail Growth? @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩
[01/06, 12:13 pm] Abhijeet Singh: 3 years age difference is sufficient to make a difference in the nail growth?

I had thought that both of our nail growth (Mine and my brothers) would be almost similar.

What’s your comment @⁨~Vijaya Tilak⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨Arunan Sir⁩ @⁨Saida CUBE⁩ @⁨Aditya cube⁩ @⁨shalinisharma CUBE⁩
[01/06, 12:18 pm] Arunan Sir: Why are you ignoring other possible factors, that result in differential nail growth rate?

Can just two samples be used to conclude? @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨Batul Ma’am⁩ @⁨~Enas⁩ @⁨Sakshi Ratnam CUBE⁩ @⁨~Sweta She/her⁩ and others.
[01/06, 12:51 pm] Abhijeet Singh: Yes of course 2 samples cannot conclude.

Let’s have more data from the last phase of elections.
[01/06, 6:06 pm] Arunan Sir: Early phases of election from Assam through Kerala to Maharashtra, Karnataka and all others would help us
to see the rate of growth in different weeks and months. @⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨shalinisharma CUBE⁩ @⁨Batul Ma’am⁩ @⁨Susanta Sir cube Assam⁩ and others. Let’s mobilize all, like in Republic Day Mango Challenge.
@⁨Abhijeet Singh⁩ @⁨Theertha CUBE⁩ @⁨Susanta Sir cube Assam⁩ @⁨~Enas⁩ and others, please take the initiative.
[02/06, 1:09 am] shalinisharma CUBE: Let’s have more data on this and then propose your idea because age is not the only factor that is responsible for nail growth, although we have taken it as one factor.
