Disease Description
Baldness refers to the partial or complete loss of hair. It is thought to be caused by many factors, and incidence generally increases with age. There is a strong genetic component to the pattern of baldness that one may be affected with. However, several factors such as a diet high in saturated fats, stress, trauma, poor nutrition, thyroid problems etc can contribute to hair thinning and loss. Baldness tends to be more common in men than women.
