Marital Status, Smoking, Heavy Drinking Increase Risk of Hair Loss for Women
DENVER, Sep 21, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Age and genetics have traditionally been considered the most reliable predictors of both female and male hair loss. However, two new studies involving identical twins, being presented at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) annual conference, Plastic Surgery 11 THE Meeting, September 23-27, in Denver, reveal new contributors to hair loss in both women and men. In fact, being a divorcee, widow, heavy smoker or drinker can wreak havoc on one's hairline, especially if you're a woman, the studies find.
"Never before has the role of some of these contributors to hair loss been documented," said Bahman Guyuron, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and co-author of the studies. "While genetics remain a strong predictor of some types of hair loss, introducing certain stressful or unhealthy factors into a person's life can result in more hair loss."
