Pattern Hair Loss In Women
Androgenetic alopecia, AGA, also known as common pattern hair loss affects approximately 20 million American women.

Recent studies suggest that women with some markers of insulin resistance are at significantly increased risk of female AGA. Moreover, a paternal history of hair loss may be a strong predictor of female AGA.
