    GlossaryAir Quality Index

    standardized measure indicating air pollution levels and health risks

    The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardized system used to measure and report air quality levels, indicating how clean or polluted the air is and what associated health effects might be a concern for the public. It typically ranges from 0 to 500, with higher values representing greater levels of air pollution and increased health risks, particularly for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.

      community Are the japanese Finasteride 10 year studies even relevant to caucasian men - especially young ones?

      in Technology  109 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride, in different populations. Some users believe that the results of Japanese studies may not be relevant to Caucasian men, especially young ones, and that East Asians may respond better to these treatments. Others argue that clinical studies should be the basis for decision-making, while acknowledging that individual responses to medications can vary.

      community What's "wrong" with oral minoxidil, exactly?

      Oral minoxidil can boost hair growth but may cause side effects like heart palpitations and increased body hair. Many prefer topical minoxidil due to fewer side effects.

      The user improved their hair loss using finasteride, switched to dutasteride, micro-needling, Nizoral shampoo, and changed from topical to oral minoxidil, resulting in thicker hair, eyebrows, beard, and body hair. Commenters are impressed with the transformation, some mistaking the before and after photos for different people, and the user reports no side effects from the treatments.
