The Predictive Value of Midscalp Hair Density and Terminal Hair Percentage in the Severity Evaluation of Female Pattern Hair Loss Assessed by Trichoscan in a Sample of Chinese Population

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

This study found that temporal hair loss is evident in Korean women with female pattern hair loss, suggesting it should be included in classification systems like the BASP.

In this study, reduced hair density, diameter, and follicle miniaturization were key characteristics of female pattern hair loss in Southern Chinese women, with occipital and temporal sites also affected.

This article reviews the clinical assessment of female pattern hair loss and discusses up-to-date treatments, highlighting oral minoxidil combined with oral spironolactone as a promising novel therapy. It emphasizes the crucial role of general practitioners in diagnosis, treatment planning, and managing associated psychosocial issues.

This study found significant differences in hair density, non-vellus hair diameter, and percentage of miniaturized hair between normal women and those with female pattern hair loss, particularly in the midscalp and parietal areas.

This review summarizes the genetic studies on female pattern hair loss, highlighting the lack of clearly identified susceptibility loci and suggesting distinct aetiological differences from male pattern hair loss.

This review discusses the clinical, epidemiological, and pathophysiological aspects of female pattern hair loss, reporting no new research findings.

This review addresses treatment approaches for female pattern hair loss, highlighting that combining different therapies may be more effective than single treatments, but no new results are reported.

This article presents a systematic approach for obstetricians/gynecologists to diagnose and manage common types of nonscarring hair loss in women, reporting no new clinical results.

This review explores the current understanding of genetic and hormonal influences on male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, providing guidance for clinicians but reports no new results.

This guideline reviews the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia and offers expert consensus recommendations tailored to males, females, and adolescents, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the occipital scalp is significantly involved in female pattern hair loss, with some patients showing clinically visible alopecia.

In this study, genetic variation in the CYP19A1 gene, particularly the common rs4646 C allele, was associated with an increased risk of female pattern hair loss, especially in women under 40.

This study found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in Chinese men was lower than in Caucasian men, similar to Korean men, and most commonly presented as type III vertex.

This review discusses the advantages and limitations of various hair loss evaluation methods but reports no new results; it emphasizes the importance of cautious interpretation for these diagnostic tools.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia experience diffuse hair loss due to a decrease in terminal hairs and an increase in vellus hairs per follicular unit.

This study found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia increases with age among both men and women in Maryborough, Australia, with 57% of women and 73.5% of men aged 80 and over affected.

This study found that among Japanese women with diffuse hair loss, decreased hair density without changes in vellus hair was the most common and distinct pattern observed, highlighting differences from previous observations in other populations.

This study observed that hair follicle mesenchyme in mice exhibits significant plasticity during the hair cycle, with cell migration and changes in papilla size impacting hair production.

This article discusses various mechanisms for promoting hair growth in pattern hair loss and highlights the challenge of balancing short-term measurable results in trials with the need for long-term efficacy data.

This review discusses common hair loss conditions and explores how advancements in hair follicle biology might lead to more effective treatments but reports no new results.

This article discusses the biologic and psychosocial significance of hair, the current limitations in hair growth drugs, and anticipates future therapies based on advancing hair follicle research.

People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.

This article presents a classification system for stages of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia to aid early diagnosis and mentions existing systems for rare male-pattern cases, but reports no new clinical results.
