Association of Ferritin and Vitamin D (Calciferol) Deficiency with Female Pattern Hair Loss

This study investigated the roles of ferritin and vitamin D in female pattern hair loss (FPHL) among 50 female patients aged 12-58 years at Delta Medical College and Hospital. Results showed that 89% of participants had deficient or insufficient vitamin D levels, suggesting a link between vitamin D deficiency and hair loss. Additionally, ferritin levels were also found to be deficient. The study concludes that, despite its limitations, assessing blood D3 and other mineral levels is recommended for evaluating the health of FPHL patients.
