Subjects completed a questionnaire investigating, among other points, the severity ratings of their AGA. The participants were then given a rating based on Ludwig's classification. Each of the 31 women was asked to describe her alopecia by choosing one of the following descriptions: 'my scalp is clearly visible' (12 subjects chose this answer); 'my scalp is slightly visible' (12 subjects); and 'my scalp is not visible' (seven subjects). Twelve of the 31 subjects affected by FPHL (39%) denied their problem, and 12 of them underestimated it.

Abstract
Subjects completed a questionnaire investigating, among other points, the severity ratings of their AGA. The participants were then given a rating based on Ludwig's classification. Each of the 31 women was asked to describe her alopecia by choosing one of the following descriptions: 'my scalp is clearly visible' (12 subjects chose this answer); 'my scalp is slightly visible' (12 subjects); and 'my scalp is not visible' (seven subjects). Twelve of the 31 subjects affected by FPHL (39%) denied their problem, and 12 of them underestimated it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
