Correction: Androgenic Alopecia Is Associated with Less Dietary Soy, Lower Blood Vanadium, and rs1160312 1 Polymorphism in Taiwanese Communities

August 2014 in “ PLOS ONE ”

androgenic alopecia dietary soy blood vanadium rs1160312 polymorphism

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.
