• Decrease in hair density in the central (vertex, mid and frontal) scalp, bitemporal and parietal regions in women. • Miniaturization of affected hairs. • Two ages of onset: early (post-puberty to third decade) and late (age 40+ years). • Signs of hyperandrogenism (hirsutism, irregular periods) or hyperandrogenemia occur in a subset of women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) but most women with FPHL have neither. • Many, but not all, affected women respond to antiandrogens or 5α-reductase inhibitors with increased hair growth indicating an androgen etiology in at least some cases of FPHL. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
