Abstract
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a kind of androgen-dependent alopecia that manifests as progressive, pattern hair loss in those who are genetically susceptible to the condition. This hair loss is caused by the gradual transformation of terminal hair on the scalp into the much finer vellus hair. Androgenic alopecia has been linked to the involvement of minerals like zinc and iron in hair loss, according to a number of studies.
Patients with androgenic alopecia, both male and female, aged 20 to 49, participated in this research. Androgenic alopecia may be diagnosed based on patient history and physical examination. Patients and healthy individuals alike had their blood levels of zinc and iron assessed.
A closer look at the data showed us:
Firstly, in terms of the connection:
Amongst the ladies
In contrast to the control group, the case population was more likely to have a family history of cancer and to have used artificial colours in their hair and clothes.
-Age and alopecia severity correlated positively with serum zinc levels.
As for the rest of the relationships, they were not noteworthy.
When looking at the male population
Comparing cases and controls, there was a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of a personal or family history of the disease.
- Serum iron levels declined significantly with increasing age.
We found a negligible difference in dye consumption between case and control groups.
As for the rest of the relationships, they were not noteworthy.
2) With respect to zinc and iron concentrations in our research serum
Serum Zinc and Iron levels were significantly lower in the female patients compared to the control group.
Serum Zinc and Iron levels were lower in the male cases compared to controls, although the difference was not statistically significant.
