The study investigated the correlations between the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and trichoscopic as well as clinical-anamnestic parameters in 81 young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata. The findings revealed that in the total group and those with grade II alopecia areata, there were only isolated weak correlations between DLQI scores and clinical-anamnestic parameters. In contrast, men with grade I alopecia areata showed multiple direct medium-strength, non-significant correlations with clinical-anamnestic parameters. Men with grade III alopecia areata exhibited multiple direct and inverse medium-strength, non-significant correlations with both trichoscopic and clinical-anamnestic parameters. The study highlights that the percentage of significant and medium-strength non-significant correlations was higher in men with grade I (16.28%) and grade III (37.21%) alopecia areata compared to the total group and those with grade II (9.30%).
