    TLDR Copper deficiency may cause hair loss, and treating it could involve nutrition and hormones.
    The study found that copper deficiency was statistically significant in men and women suffering from androgenetic alopecia (AA) compared to the control group. The study suggests that copper deficiency may be a new reason for androgenetic alopecia. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of trace elements in hair growth and suggests that a comprehensive approach to treatment, including nutritional interventions and hormonal therapy, may be necessary to effectively treat AGA.
