    TLDR Hair loss is linked to eating less soy, having lower blood vanadium, and a specific genetic variation in Taiwanese communities.
    The document is a correction notice for a study titled "Androgenic Alopecia Is Associated with Less Dietary Soy, Lower Blood Vanadium and rs1160312 1 Polymorphism in Taiwanese Communities". The correction was that the word "Higher" in the original title should be "Lower", indicating that the study found a correlation between androgenic alopecia and lower levels of blood vanadium, not higher. The study also found associations between androgenic alopecia and less dietary soy, as well as the rs1160312 1 polymorphism in Taiwanese communities.

      The user stopped taking oral finasteride due to depression and now uses a topical finasteride/minoxidil mix with some scalp irritation. They plan to start derma stamping and have seen some improvement in their hair over three years, which others have noticed and encouraged them to continue their efforts.
