TLDR Premature graying in young children can affect self-esteem, and addressing underlying health issues may reverse it.

The document discusses premature graying of hair (PGH) in children as young as seven years old, highlighting its impact on self-esteem and sociocultural adjustment. The exact cause of PGH is unknown, but it is linked to premature aging disorders, autoimmune diseases, and certain deficiencies. It may occur as an autosomal dominant condition or be associated with other syndromes. Treatment options include nutritional supplements like calcium pantothenate and PABA, herbal agents, and hair dye for cosmetic purposes. Addressing underlying conditions can often reverse PGH.
