Unhealthy diet and lifestyle factors linked to female androgenetic alopecia: a community-based study from Jidong study, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore unhealthy diet and lifestyle factors associated with female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA) in a community-based study.

Methods

A total of 3,008 participants were recruited from the Jidong community (Tangshan, Hebei, China). FAGA was assessed by the Savin scale. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify potential factors. Multivariable models were built by selecting covariates with P < 0.05 in univariable analyses and removing collinear variables identified by a variance inflation factor > 5. The predictive performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results

The prevalence of FAGA in this study was 6.85% (206/300
