- W2046103642 abstract "Background: Alopecia is the medical term that refers to the loss of hair. It comes in a variety of patterns and has a number of causes. A host of factors has been found to be associated with its occurrence. For severe cases, hair transplantation may consequently be required. Our main objectives in this study were to perform profiling of alopecia, to determine the role of nutritional deficiency, stress and endocrine imbalance in alopecic population of Pakistan and to elucidate the reasons for seeking hair transplant. Methods: This was a cross sectional, interview-based survey carried out at five dermatological clinics and hair transplantation centers located in Clifton Area and dermatological clinics of Liaquat National, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center and Civil Hospital, Karachi from April – May 2012. Non-random convenience sampling was employed. Around 400 individuals of both sexes with Alopecia were approached, of which 330 consented (response rate = 82.5%). Domains included BMI, stress (using a questionnaire), endocrine abnormality and grade of alopecia (via Hamilton’s/Ludwig’s Scales and trichometric index). Results: Patients’ mean age was 39 ± 14 years. Grade 3 was the most common grade of alopecia, seen in 114 (34.5%) patients. The most repeated trichometric indices were 95% and 85%. Further interview revealed that many of the hair loss patients were overweight (37.6%), moderately prone to stress (79.4%) and had endocrine imbalance (30%). 21.5% patients wanted physical improvement through transplantation. Conclusion: Our study results indicate that stress may be a major player in triggering alopecia, and although we were unable to prove a role for nutritional deficiencies and endocrine dysfunctions, these factors have been reported to play an important role in previous studies. However, large studies involving a greater sample/geographical size are needed in order to further elucidate their effects on alopecia in this particular population." @default.
