TLDR Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia mainly affects postmenopausal women and is linked to thyroid disease, hyperlipidemia, and anemia.
The study focused on Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), a type of primary lymphocytic scarring alopecia, and analyzed epidemiological data from 300 patients at the "A. Syggros" hospital over 10 years. The majority of patients were women (94.7%), with ages ranging from 26 to 92 years and an average age of 61.7. A significant portion of the women (82.7%) were postmenopausal. The study found that 56.3% of participants had thyroid disease, 34% had hyperlipidemia, and 22.7% had anemia, among other conditions. Additionally, 40.3% had a family history of androgenetic alopecia, and 13.3% had a family history of FFA. The findings aligned with international studies on FFA.
