Hi everyone,
an idea that came up the other day: Why not try data mining/"big data" to identify contributing factors that trigger and/or speed up Androgenetic Alopecia?
There are a lot of databases that gather various facts about populations in different countries. For example, there is the Global Dietary Database that gathers data about nutrition in most countries. There are various other large-panel studies about different topics such as sports, smoking and many more for most countries is well.
Hence the idea: Gathering all this data and performing data mining on it to deduce patterns for Androgenetic Alopecia risk and progression factors.
Now the problem is that I can't find studies that compare Androgenetic Alopecia rates across the globe at the same time.
I found the following:
- US Americans (in 1950 though so data might be wrong by now): Patterned loss of hair in man; types and incidence
- South Korea (2001): The prevalence and types of androgenetic alopecia in Korean men and women
- China (2008): Prevalence and types of androgenetic alopecia in Shanghai, China: a community-based study
I would like to gather as many studies of Androgenetic Alopecia prevalence in different countries as possible in this thread.
If we manage to get data for a lot of countries, I will gather all the data in some spreadsheets (and post them here for other people to use too). Most importantly though I'll try to correlate the data with dietary patterns from the Global Dietary Database and other databases other people suggest.
Does anyone know/find any studies that measure Androgenetic Alopecia prevalence in different countries?
Best would be a comparative study for many countries at the same time - unfortunately, the only one I found is not representative because it used photos people posted on online dating websites of themselves.
Any study of the incidence/prevalence in any country (or several at the same time) and any help in finding these would be much appreciated!
