    TLDR The document did not provide enough information to summarize the causes of hair loss in pre- and postmenopausal women.
    The document "Examining the etiology telogen effluvium in pre- and postmenopausal women: A chart review study" by J.L. Roberts, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings in 2003, investigated the causes of telogen effluvium, a common hair loss condition, in pre- and postmenopausal women. The study was a chart review, meaning it analyzed existing patient data rather than conducting new experiments. The document did not provide specific numbers of participants or detailed results, making it impossible to summarize the conclusions or supporting facts.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
