    TLDR Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Ferritin are linked to hair loss in both genders, while Zinc, Vitamin B12, folic acid, and TSH are linked to hair loss in males only.
    The study investigated the correlation between various biochemical parameters and alopecia in 183 patients (80 males and 103 females) compared to 100 healthy controls. The results showed that hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cells (RBC) do not correlate with alopecia. However, Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Ferritin significantly correlate with alopecia in both genders. Zinc, Vitamin B12, folic acid, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) correlate with alopecia in males but not in females. Additionally, Iron and Ferritin levels differ significantly between male and female alopecia patients.
