Alcohol's Role in Hair Loss: What Science Says
A systematic review and meta-analysis by researchers at Pusan National University found a modest but statistically inconclusive association between alcohol consumption and androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most common form of hair loss. While drinkers were 1.4 times more likely to experience AGA than non-drinkers, robust cohort studies showed no significant link. The study highlights the need for further research with standardized criteria to better understand any potential connection and its mechanisms, which could inform public health strategies and personalized hair loss treatments.
