Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is an extremely common disorder that affects roughly 50% of men and perhaps as many women above the age of 40 years. Reportedly, as many as 13% of premenopausal women experience androgenetic alopecia. However, the incidence of androgenetic alopecia increases greatly in women following menopause, and, according to a source, it may affect 75% of women older than 65 years.
