Role of Iron Deficiency in Chronic Hair Loss

The research paper "Role of Iron Deficiency in Chronic Hair Loss" from October 7, 2020, aimed to analyze the relationship between iron deficiency and chronic hair loss. The study highlighted that hair, being a fast-proliferating organ, requires a high blood supply, and iron plays a crucial role in this process. The research suggested that iron deficiency might not only contribute to hair loss but could also cause hair to fall out in a pattern similar to genetic baldness in both males and females. However, the exact role of iron in hair loss was not clearly defined. The paper concluded that iron, a key micronutrient in our body's metabolism, is one of the most commonly cited nutritional causes of hair loss.
