Assessment of Vitamin D and Its Correlation With Other Biochemical Parameters Related to Hair Loss

This study conducted at Al-Kafel Hospital in Karbala, Iraq, involved 45 participants, including 25 individuals with hair loss and 20 controls, to assess the correlation between vitamin D, ferritin, and zinc levels with hair loss. The findings revealed that individuals with hair loss had significantly lower levels of vitamin D3, ferritin, and zinc compared to those with normal hair. Although vitamin D3 levels were lower in females than males, the difference was not statistically significant. The study suggests a link between insufficient vitamin D3 and reduced ferritin and zinc levels, increasing the risk of hair loss. It emphasizes the importance of regularly checking vitamin D and zinc levels in patients experiencing hair loss.
