TLDR Women with early onset androgenetic alopecia have worse lipid profiles.
This case-control study analyzed lipid values in 300 patients, including 150 with early onset androgenetic alopecia (80 males and 70 females) and 150 controls with other skin diseases. Female patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher triglycerides (123.8 vs 89.43 mg/dl, p=0.006), total cholesterol (196.1 vs 182.3 mg/dl, p=0.014), LDL-C (114.1 vs 98.8 mg/dl, p=0.0006), and lower HDL-C (56.8 vs 67.7 mg/dl, p<0.05) compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between androgenetic alopecia and adverse lipid profiles in women.
