Sexual Dimorphism in Micronutrient Homeostasis and Cluster Depletion Patterns in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Hair Loss: Development and Validation of a Phenotype-Based Risk Stratification Tool

The study investigates the differences in micronutrient homeostasis and cluster depletion patterns between male and female patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who experience hair loss. Researchers developed and validated a phenotype-based risk stratification tool to better understand these differences. The study involved 500 participants, providing a robust dataset for analysis. Results indicated significant sexual dimorphism in micronutrient levels, which could influence hair loss patterns in T2DM patients. The newly developed tool aims to improve personalized treatment strategies by considering these gender-specific differences in micronutrient homeostasis.
