TLDR Sinclair grading effectively identifies female androgenic alopecia patterns, with Grade III most common.

The study titled "Androgenic Alopecia In Female" conducted by Alshimaa Abdelhamid Mohamed and colleagues, involved 30 randomly selected female patients suffering from androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition. The patients, aged between 28 and 45 years, were evaluated using the Sinclair grading method from March 2021 to January 2023. The study found that Sinclair grading is an effective method for identifying patterns of female androgenic alopecia, with Grade III being the most common type. Additionally, a positive family history was found in 15 cases, and 18 of the patients were married.
