Hair Loss Women |
Women who lose a spouse, either through death or divorce, more at higher risk for hair loss than women who are still single.
"The main cause is actually feeling the stress of losing it," said Dr.Bahman Guyuron, a plastic surgeon at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine are conducting this research.
In his research he was involved 84 female identical twins. They were all asked to fill out a questionnaire and blood tests to test hormone levels and image analysis of hair. Research on identical twins is very important because they carry the same gene.
On the hair near the temples, the team found the longer a woman had a habit of smoking, the more kerontokannya. Meanwhile, thinning hair in the coronal area (near the top of the head) is more associated with diabetes, presence or absence of a history of skin disease, and smoking history. Meanwhile, women who are obese tend to be less hair loss.
Guyuron explained, the results of this research also indicates that the condition of a person's hair is also affected by sleep patterns and emotional conditions. They are more stressed, as have many children or divorced with her partner, her hair is more likely to fall out.
Meanwhile, a woman whose marriage was happy, protecting the hair from the sun, and regularly drink coffee, have a lower risk of hair loss.
Another study conducted on male participants. The result is known a man who rarely exercise and suffer from high blood pressure more often suffer from hair loss at the crown of the head. Men who frequently exercise outdoors are also more prone to suffer from hair loss.
"At its core is how we manage the stress that is felt because the mind and body condition have a strong relationship," said Guyuron.
