    TLDR Different stages and types of female hair loss are linked with age, menopause, high blood pressure, and skin conditions like acne and hirsutism.
    The study "The comparison of demographics and comorbidities of female pattern hair loss according to the clinical subtype and stage" found that advanced stages of female pattern hair loss are associated with increased age, menopausal state, and hypertension. Acne vulgaris is more prevalent in earlier stages of hair loss. Hirsutism and acne vulgaris are more commonly seen in the Ludwig and Hamilton subtypes of hair loss, while hypertension is more frequent in the Ludwig subtype. The study suggests that understanding the relationship between comorbid diseases and stage in specific subtypes can guide the diagnosis of undiagnosed comorbid diseases. The study's limitations include the confounding effect of age on the relationship between clinical subtype and comorbid diseases.
