This study found that individuals with protein-calorie malnutrition, especially those with kwashiorkor, required significantly less force to pluck hair compared to well-nourished patients.

This study found that due to variability in measurements, hair pluckability is not a reliable indicator of adult nutritional status, although it may hold potential in certain emergency situations if improved for consistency.

This study suggests that using trichotillometry to establish the normal range of shear strain for different hair types could inform diagnostic and treatment decisions for various hair conditions.

This study measured the force required to pluck anagen and telogen hair from volunteers, suggesting that trichotillometry could assess hair strength in alopecia patients and evaluate treatment efficacy.

In this study, the average force required to pluck hair was significantly lower in malnourished adults, especially those with kwashiorkor, compared to well-nourished individuals.
