Information on Condition
Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is a condition involving both genetic
(inherited) and hormonal factors. AGA in men usually begins at the
hairline. The hairline gradually recedes to form an "M" shape. The
hair becomes finer and shorter. The hair at the top of your head (also
called the
crown
) begins to thin. Over time, the top of the hairline
meets the thinned crown, leaving a pattern of hair around the sides
of your head. A system called the Norwood Hamilton classification
system is used to determine the extent of hair loss. The following
chart will assist in determining your stage of hair loss.
An estimated 50 million men in the United States experience AGA.
A person’s tendency to lose hair can be inherited from either side
of a person’s family or from both parents. Men of all races and
ethnicities lose their hair. By age 40, nearly forty percent of men
have visible signs of AGA. By age 50, fifty percent of men show
signs of the condition.
