"both hair density and hair thickness was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased"

Can anyone explain it? Where is fixed in the current theory?

Seems that DHT also ducks occipital hairs but in less severity.

Thanks Mandar but in the paper
"In the temporal region, a statistically significant (P < 0.05) decrease in hair density was observed in patients with C, U or F subtypes, and a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in hair thickness was observed in patients with the U subtype compared with HCs. In the mastoid and occipital areas, both hair density and hair thickness was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased in patients with the U subtype compared with HCs. Within each classification, hairs became generally thinner as the hair loss progressed."

I understand that people with lower hair density and less hair thickness are more prone to develop common baldness. Occipital hair is where we can know the real physical characteristics of our "genetic" original hair.
