    TLDR Eyebrow loss in frontal fibrosing alopecia is common and may be linked to other health issues.
    This retrospective, cross-sectional study evaluated 16 female patients diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) over a 10-year period. The study found that 75% of the patients experienced eyebrow loss, which was more common in those with comorbidities. There was no statistically significant relationship between eyebrow involvement and the age or disease duration of the patients. The findings suggested that while FFA predominantly affected postmenopausal women, the presence of comorbidities might be a factor in eyebrow involvement, a detail not previously reported in the literature. Further research with larger patient groups was recommended to clarify these relationships.
