The most common type of progressive hair loss is androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness, female-pattern baldness, or common baldness).It affects about 50% of men over the age of 50, and about 50% of women over the age of 65. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affects hair follicles and reduce hair production. In men eventually hairline recede and crown thins. It is not always age-related. Medications can only temporarily inhibit androgenetic alopecia.
