    Tanjina Nasrin, Md Abdul Wahab, Esrat Khan Lubna, Lubna Khondker
    Studysummary This study found that females with chronic diffuse hair loss, including chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association between decreased iron stores and hair loss.
