ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is one of the most common type of alopecia among all men and women after puberty. The number of patients with AGA appears to be gradually increasing.OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical status such as age, family history, and type of patients with AGA and to review recent Korean literature.METHODS:
1500 patients with AGA who had visited the Department of Dermatology, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University School of Medicine during the last 7 years (from May 1997 through December 2003) were examined through the clinical records.RESULTS:
1) There were 1162 male and 338 female patients being most prevalent in the third decade in both sexes. 2) In males AGA, Norwood-Hamilton's type II was the most common. 3) In females AGA, Ludwig's type I was the most common. 4) There was a family history of baldness in 62.9% of relatives in male patients and 48.8% in female patients. 5) The largest number of patients with AGA first visited our department when they had had 1-5 year's history of AGA in both sexes. 6) In the management of male AGA, oral finasteride only or with topical medications was the most common (72.4%) treatment modality. 7) In the management of female AGA, topical minoxidil solution only or with other topical medications was the most common (78.7%) treatment modality.CONCLUSIONS:
The proportion of young patients with mild types appears to be high among AGA patients. It might be largely due to psychological stress in social situations.
