    TLDR Hospital staff have a higher rate of hair loss than the general population.
    The study examined the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) among 297 hospital staff and 318 individuals from the general population at Fuping Hospital in China. It found a higher overall prevalence of AGA in hospital staff (23.6%) compared to the general population (14.8%), with male staff showing a significantly higher prevalence (42.9%) than males in the general population (27.5%). No significant difference was observed among women. The most common types of AGA were type IV and type IIIv in male staff and type I in female staff. The study suggested that occupation-related factors might contribute to the higher prevalence of AGA among hospital staff and recommended further research with a larger sample size to explore related risk factors.
