    TLDR Men with a family history of hair loss on their mother's side are more likely to have 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.

      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.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
