research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
This review explores the current understanding of genetic and hormonal influences on male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, providing guidance for clinicians but reports no new results.
research The Role of rs6152 Allele and Non-Genetic Factors in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study in the Indonesian Local Population
In this study, rs6152 was not significantly associated with androgenetic alopecia in the Indonesian population, but familial history and factors like age, gender, hypertension, and BMI were strongly linked to AGA risk.
research 642 Uncovering the role of UV exposure history and genetics in determining skin sun damage
This study found that facial sun damage scores from UV photography correlate with skin cancer and melanoma risk factors, suggesting this technology may help identify individuals at higher risk.
research Genetic analysis of the role of androgen metabolism in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer
This study suggests that identified polymorphisms may serve as markers for assessing an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Yes your lifestyle and diet has its role in hair loss.
Diet and lifestyle changes can reduce hair shedding but won't regrow hair lost to genetic male pattern baldness. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are necessary for significant hair regrowth.
community A man in his 80s with full head of hair.
Genetics play a major role in hair loss, with some people keeping a full head of hair into old age without using treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. Many express frustration over their own hair loss and the perceived unfairness of genetic differences.
community Any of you gym rats notice creatine hair loss?
Creatine and heavy lifting may contribute to hair loss, but genetics play a significant role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride and MSM powder to manage or prevent hair loss.
community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?
Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.
community Why do patients drop back to baseline/pre-treatment soon after quitting Finasteride?
Stopping finasteride often leads to rapid hair loss, returning to a genetic baseline, as the drug temporarily halts hair loss and promotes regrowth. The discussion explores the complexity of hair loss, suggesting that factors beyond DHT, such as genetics and scalp conditions, may play a role.

6 / 801 results- Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
