Risk Factors Affecting Hair Fall According to Body Constitution: A Case-Control Study Among Adults

The study investigates the risk factors associated with Khalitya (hair fall) in relation to different Deha Prakriti (body constitution) among male adults aged 20-50 years. Using a case-control design with 50 cases and 50 controls, the study found that age is a significant risk factor for hair fall (p = 0.0365). As age increases, the likelihood of hair fall also rises, contributing to a higher incidence of male pattern baldness. Additionally, increased levels of stress and anger, which elevate Vata and Pitta doshas, are linked to higher hair fall.
