    TLDR Diffuse alopecia in females is often linked to certain medications, diseases, and low hemoglobin, while female pattern hair loss is linked to age, duration, and family history.
    The study on non-cicatricial alopecia (NCA) in 355 female patients identified diffuse alopecia as the most common type, significantly associated with connective tissue diseases (CTD), use of oral contraceptives (OCP), oral steroids, hydroxychloroquine, and lower blood hemoglobin levels. Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) was linked to older age, longer duration of alopecia, and a family history of alopecia. These findings highlight the importance of considering these risk factors for effective management of NCA in females.
