Abstract in brief

  • The study found that smokers are more likely to experience early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) compared to nonsmokers, with 425 smokers and only 200 nonsmokers showing signs of AGA.
  • Among those with AGA, a higher percentage of smokers had advanced grades (III and IV) compared to nonsmokers, indicating a stronger association between smoking and the occurrence of more severe hair loss.
  • While smoking is linked to a higher prevalence of AGA, the severity of hair loss does not appear to increase with the amount or intensity of smoking, suggesting other factors like nicotine or cotinine may influence hair loss progression.

@DzambhalaHODL The effect on skin aging is more dramatic but causes hair loss as well. Probably ROS or vasoconstrictions. https://t.co/Zs3BaumZgH

@ondori_blog 実際非喫煙者よりＡＧＡ有病率は喫煙者の方が統計学的にも高いんですが、喫煙成分自体がAGA進行の加速させるかはまだ「可能性有り」止まりなんですよね。 さらなる研究結果を待ちたいです。 https://t.co/Frw6nG9ukj

Did you know that #smoking can cause #Hairloss? Smoking damages hair #follicles #DNA, which reduces #blood flow to the follicles leading to hair loss. This is caused by the #nicotine and various #chemicals cigarettes contain. https://t.co/ngcI3YC04a https://t.co/HuBvOUokU0
