Association Between Family History and Male Androgenetic Alopecia with Female Pattern Hair Loss

The retrospective case-control study conducted on 469 male patients diagnosed with Male Androgenetic Alopecia (MAGA) found that 65.9% (309) of these patients also had Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL). The study revealed a significant association between a matrilineal and maternal history of androgenetic alopecia and MAGA with FPHL. No significant differences were found between MAGA with and without FPHL in terms of cardiovascular disease risk factors. However, a positive correlation was found between body mass index and the type F score in the MAGA with FPHL group. The study concluded that MAGA patients with a maternal history of androgenetic alopecia are at a higher risk of FPHL, indicating the importance of early screening in these patients.
