a positive trendno p-value reported

Furthermore, despite the strong correlation of SAF with intrinsic fluorescence and CML with intrinsic fluorescence, correlation of SAF with CML showed a positive trend, but was not significant, probably due to small data numbers, but also possibly due to unsatisfactorily results of SAF for AGE accumulation in very dark skin types.
